La Familia Family Vignettes

Me: So I guess I'll see you tomorrow at the family dinner...
My brother: I guess so...why are we doing this again?
Me: It's a holiday and stepdad wants to get grandma out and about and we're family, we need to all get together every so often...

What I really meant: So that we all talk more often and keep in touch as a family group so you can't give each of us a different story and fool us into believing it.

*grin*

See, he likes us all separate, so he can give his wife one story and our mom another story and then tell me yet another story and getting us all in a room together is not high on his agenda. And he doesn't like stepdad, he's not interested in step-grandma or step-brother or his wife (they don't pay his bills so no point in giving them a story or spending any time on them).

And I know that sounds really cold and he's not so much like that but he is in a way, he's a borderline personality type and he tends to view things in a very self-centric way plus he's still a spoiled child who really hasn't grown up that much....oh well, I love him anyway! :)

Besides, it's a free meal at a nice restaurant where I can eat all my favorite stuff!
