Funny Friday
So I wasn't going to do anything today but then I saw this and really just had to share.
Re: Funny Friday
My BFP Chart Danger Love Blog
Am I the only one who doesn't find that guy the least bit attractive?? I don't understand what all the to-do about him is.
I had a funny story over Christmas I never shared. Well, not really funny for me, but my friends thought it was hilarious. Backstory is, for whatever odd reason everytime my friends see my dad or hear about him, he's doing something kind of badass (skydiving, etc.) I told him he isn't like that every day, and that they have a skewed view of him, but they won't listen.
Every Christmas Eve for almost 20 years, my family and I have gone to a party at one of my parents' friends' houses. It starts at 10am and it's pretty much a drinking & snacks party. (Yes, a houseful of people getting drunk at 10am on Christmas Eve...it IS a classy party, I promise, despite how it sounds!)
Anyways, by 11am my lightweight mother is already feeling good. I was standing talking to her and my brother about our wedding, when my mom feels the need to tell us a wedding related story. I later sent this e-mail to said group of friends (all BMs, coincidentally):
So we went to our annual Christmas Eve party at my parents' friends' house today. We aren't there for more than 30-40mins when my mom has had a few cosmos and starts talking about the wedding.Hope you guys got the f*cking party started today....merry Christmas!
**Side note: at our wedding, my relatively shy father interrupted the DJ while everyone was dancing and made an impromptu speech in front of the entire reception, which was ended by..."LET'S GET THIS F*CKING PARTY STARTED!". Which has now become catchphrase among all my friends.
After I sent my original email, the responses from my friends are as follows:
#1 - I just read this email aloud to my family with tears in my eyes. Thank you, [my maiden family name]
#2 - .The only thing that would make me happier than reading this story is finally getting to read [dad]'s list of awesomeness! [dad's name]! [dad's name]!
**Side note #2 - after I told my dad about how my friends have the false impression that he is some sort of "mystic badass", he told me my Christmas gift was going to be a list of all the badass things he has done in his life. I told my friends about this "list" and they still clamoring for it.
#3 - Omg. I just shared that with a few cousins at our party as well. That's amazing, gross, and hilarious. Merry Christmas ladies!!
#4 - After a few drinks, the [my friend's family name]s enjoyed a good read-aloud of that story as well. Naturally, I had to accompany the story with a picture of [my mom]'s fabulous display of her knockers from the wedding. Merry Christmas, you lovely ladies!
**Side note #3 - almost 9 months later and my friends are STILL talking about my mom's apparently awesome display of boobage that night.
Ok, so this got kind of long, but it was wedding related, and for some reason this post made me think of it. The story wasn't really funny for me to live and/or think about, but my friends thought it was hilarious. /All I got today!
