So yesterday the Grand parents pulled a ninja attack on us. A ninja attack you ask? This is when they drop by unexpected and uninvited, just like ninjas do!
I was making lunch and mom wakes up dad (who was napping) that she saw my grandparents pull in the drive way. He responds by saying, " ohhh fuck..." I walk in the room oblivious that they are here and I see my grand pop walking in front of the window and let out an " ohhh shit..."
I know this sounds mean to you that we moan and groan when they show up, but keep in mind when she shows up, it's usually her being negative as hell about... well pretty much everything; who's sick, who's dying, who has died, how she would decorate our house and our yard if it was HER house. Now come on... wouldn't your hair stand up if you had to deal with this on every unexpected little visit? Plus, keep in mind that this is friday and not sunday. Sunday is usually the day they pull this on us, we just never know what time they'll drop in. Usually it's right before we eat dinner or right before we go out. Pretty much the most inconvenient time anyone could stop by.
She was pretty normal in the beginning kinda sorta almost cheery, but when my dad and I walked them to their car she turned into grand mother Hyde. My dad showed her what he's been working on in the garage and how he organized it and everything. She responds to it by saying : " Well why put some much effort into THAT? what's the reason for it?!" She says this because dad is still looking for work. She then walks over to my Aunt Peggy's lamp that was sitting on the floor. Wasn't damaged or anything and pretty much the only wrong with it is that it had a little dust on it and didn't have a shade. " Well I see you're not taking care of this, so I'm taking it!" Like a bully in 2nd fucking grade! What the fuck is that?! She then proceeds to put it in her trunk and slams it shut. I help my grand pop into the car. My grand pop asks me if my friend Charlie started school yet. I said he'll be starting in September. Charlie took a year off of school to put himself through college because he didn't want to be a burden to his parents. His grandmother passed away and they got her house but they needed it fixed so they could sell it before the mortgage came up which they can't really afford. So we both volunteered to help them fix up the place for nothing. So, just to be nasty to me, she says "He's starting school? I thought his parents couldn't afford it? Did they come into money all of the sudden?!" I explained to her that he's been working and saved up enough to start again. She says oh. and then drives off. This is one of my best friends who's having a hard time and we gladly volunteered our help. Even if he didn't need it I'd still help because he's one of my best friends and he would do the same for me. It's called principles. She's just pissed because after we finished painting inside her house she added stuff later on and we haven't gotten to it because people like my uncle mike ( who we just installed a floor for) asked us for help before she did.
After they left, me and dad looked at each other like what the fuck just happened?? Dad wasn't happy at all about this and said something that cracked me up. " She took the lamp and she caught me off guard. If she tries to take anything out of my house again, I'll put her fucking thumbs in a vice!"
So that was our lovely friday. Do you think I'm reacting to this correctly or am I being too harsh on her?
