Ridiculously wrong things my family told me growing up...

No one gives a damn about government documents. Lately, neither do I. This week I will try to post several lists of ridiculous things that have been said to me (or by me).

Our first list is the easiest. I encourage comments of your own. I know that many of you must have some great ones of these too.

Some of the most ridiculously wrong things my family said to me growing up:

1. Sorry Vera, but we only have enough money to send one of you to private school now, and your brother has more potential than you.

2. No, we didn't drown the kittens.

3. One day you and your brother will be best friends.

4. Slavery wasn't wrong, slaves were like part of the family.

5. Isn't my little girl sexy? This photo of her in her bathing suit really shows off her figure.

(followed immediately by...)

6. It's okay honey, you can go with him, he's not a creepy old stranger at the bar, he's a family friend.

7. Are you pregnant? (I was 12).

8. Do you wanna go get some rolled tacos? Great, let's go to that place next to my bar. You don't mind eating in the car, do you?

Are you sure you're not my sister?

The best part of that comment is that I just realized you're signing in as jeniso. Hilarious.

I think you should have people call you that all the time.

Of course it's not that appropriate anymore. Perhaps it is time for a renaming. Maybe Jenimashillforthedems.

Too long. How 'bout jendem
