Hi!
So I think I finally have something worth talking about. Inspiration came to me and let me tell you... this one is a doozy.
Today my aunts thought we had reached the point in our relationship that they could discuss matters of the human pleasure! No, I'm not talking about the big nasty, cuz I would have had to been recuscitaded (BREATHE, child, breathe!) No, they had to go and discuss the places they want to go and/or have gone to to go enjoy their nightlife. This in itself isn't a big issue for me of course. More power to you if you decide that you may have gone and leaped over your mid thirties, but you are not some plain Jane housewife. But it IS however an issue when the following is being discussed with me: I do not need any explaining about what the places of your choice happen to be when they are same clubs and scenes that your 20-year old cousin also favors to go/be around! NO WAY! I was just sitting there with my aunts just having normal conversation and all of a sudden I have to be de recepient of this disturbing news! Are you kidding me!
But it gets worse if possible! So now that they've been discussing with me where they like to spend their nights dancing and drinking (cuz they can't fool nobody! I was at all them birthday parties and they know how to handle a drink haha!) my aunts start talking about things like msn messenger, facebook and how they hate it that they have their parents on their chatlists or what not. [...] Have I entered some twilight zone where age/generation GAPS have no importance?! Really?! So.. when I was brought to the attention of this interesting common ground, I took it to myself to remind them that this fact is very known to us young people and that my aunts should think of this situation as a learning experience and take it to themselves to not bother their offspring in their internet environment. They were offended! Are you kidding me!? Is it too much to ask of your elder-LY family to have some retrospect?? It was so contradicting and I looked at my cousin and she didn't know what to say either... So I left my aunt's place, even though they really insisted on me to stay (like I'm gonna want to listen to more of these revelations!), feeling very confused and I just needed that of my chest.
This is me,, signing off ;)
