the third time's the charm

Yesterday my Uncle Rob called my house and I talked to him for about ten minutes.  My dad did the same, a feat that is impressive in and of itself due to the fact that they have been fighting bitterly for God knows how long.  Anyway, when I was on the phone with my uncle we exchanged the required pleasantries and caught up a bit.  But the fact that

im sorrry! you never expressed this all to me in such depth! families suck. i dont know. i mean its hard to describe, but like im for ex. im close to my familiy but i know nothing about my dad, and suprisingly little about my grandparents even though ive seen them every other weekend since i was born. I mean we dont necessarily have to know people in and out to begin to maintain an understanding of them. i dont know communication definetly sucks, but you're still bound to love these people. take them out on a picnic. or make dinner for them. and then force intelligent comversation with them with their mouths full.

i love you, anita

ugggggggghhhhhhhh, i cant believe you're going to have to clean out a hole in you gum....ublecky :(

Clean that hole well otherwise you get some awful infection from an air pocket and the pain is so bad that some guys have told me they would prefer circumcisions to that agony.

do enjoy!

Ah, mon ami, just think of family this way. No one truly great or inspiring came from a functional background. Those people were all to well adjusted to become ruthless in their pursuit of... anything. And they were pretty damn boring, too. You're only as guarded as you want to be, and everyone overcomes the parents eventually, or they become them, and you're self aware enough not to fall into the latter category. And if you ever want to sit down with someone for an unguarded conversation, I'm there. Seriously, I'd be there in flipping five seconds.

About the teeth, well shit. I won't even be home to bring you milkshakes from planet smoothie or chicken soup, which I'm not even sure you can eat. I hope all goes well, it's a common surgery, and after this you can tell kickass stories others who have never been put to sleep can only envy.

Aurevoir, I miss you.

why thank you dahling. i hope you're having fun at quasi-college. also, when you get back i will make you smell me.

Oh, Srar, I promise you that every day of your recovery I will bring you a big huge milkshake to sate you and to plump you up. Mmm, milkshake. At least you don't have anything wrong with you besides the usual ol' wisdom teeth issue. As I'm sure I've already told you, my brother had ruptured sinuses--think of the pain from that there, eh.
Also, I say you beat your family upside the head and knock some sense into them, rather than following Anita's peaceful ways, *wink wink*.
