I just got a call out the blue from a family member.

” So…your brother and sister are refusing to talk to your crazy father anymore- your brother changed his # so he could no longer call him to harass him-”

(…good for them. I am glad they finally put their foot down)

” I didn’t want to bother you with any of it before, but then I saw I decided to call today because it’s your birthday, & so… Your Uncle died.” [long PAUSE]

“Oh. …Which one? Lol-“

(To be fair! There’s a lot of’em! There’s 6 boys! It could be anybody! lolol)(& fTr, I like my uncles & they all appreciate my humor-It’s Theirs)

( offered condolences without entering the tornado…)

In the end you laugh at it. I mean really. lolol.
