Attila's return, the drama begins.....

Post by wart57 »

My sister-in-law, Attila, has been in town for about 2 weeks now, and things have been pretty smooth.....until Sat night. A friend of the Oldest sister, D, (who is also in town) was visiting, and we out Saturday night, we did not tell Attila that the place we were going was a night club, after all, that place is filled with unwashed heathens that don't know God. So Attila is already pissed, but being a fairly good sport. D's friend, a Cubs fan so I will call him Homer, is not one to back down, so instead of ignoring Attila as most of us do, he is messing with her all night long, she is arguing back, seeming to be enjoying things when Homer asks a riddle: What do every man and woman on the planet have today that Adam and Eve did not have, so I answered a belly button. We all chuckle a little, except Attila, who immediately begins arguing that this is not true, that the bible says god created us in his image, and since we all have belly buttons, Adam and Eve had them too. I of course try to explain to her what the belly button is, and why Adam and Eve would not have them. She started talking about how we don't have god in our hearts, to which I ask her how she knows what is in our hearts, and that the bible also says not to judge others, that is gods job, not ours. I thought it was all over. Well, yesterday my wife is at the pool, and Attila has apparently been going off all day about how she is always the victim and everyone is always making fun of her, and that Homer and I were mocking god with our riddle, and we don't have god in our hearts......She has apparently been getting more and more upset. I can only imagine what the next 2 weeks will be like.....

Well, it sounds to me like she has created an eleventh commandment: Thou shalt not possess a sense of humor.

Sweet, sweet cholesterol.

I've heard that riddle, but told more as a "logic puzzle" of sorts: two people are discovered frozen in ice in Antarctica. Scientists immediately identify the people as the Biblical Adam and Eve. How? They had no belly buttons.

Next time, you could always go with the "What will you give me for a rib?" joke. Sounds like that one would work on multiple levels.

Only one person has the authority to let that happen....

Morgan Freeman.

Or I guess George Burns.

She is not staying at my house, she is at the younger sisters house, E. This weekend all 5 sisters were here, D is the oldest, Attila is next, then comes the boss (my wife) then E, who already lives in PHX, and finally the youngest, Paris. It is amazing how all of the children are just like their mothers. D's kids are cool and funny, Attila's kids are Know-it all cry-babies, my daughter is the boss, and E's kids don't want to listen to anything any body tells them. i am just glad to be back at work......
