my family is the best.
Currently my parents are in Georgia with my sister’s three kids. The oldest one is sick. They took him to the doctor in a neighboring town and discovered that he has, brace yourself for this: SCARLET FEVER. This is a thing that kids can get in this century. I am bowled over.
They went to the drug store to get him antibiotics and this drug store, okay? The pharmacy. It’s a combination store. It has a pharmacy section, and also a florist, and a GUN SHOP. None of us made any Guns N Roses jokes, and I pointed this out, and Mom said “oh they had souvenir t-shirts but I was too overcome to process it and actually buy one”.
AMAZING. Also, disappointing, because I can only imagine such a t-shirt.
And now the youngest one just told my mother that she’s “usually scared of other humans”, which is possibly the best bit of three-year-old explanation of the world I’ve heard in a while. (Rachel is a little shy, and takes refuge in her alter ego, who just barks at people, and I’m sort of sad that we’re not really allowed to be that weird as adults because I’d like to steal that coping mechanism.)
Kids are great.
In other family news, though, my unmarried sister (us two middle ones are the spinsters) recently confirmed that she does think Domhnall Gleeson is hot, but not Oscar Isaac, and I just don’t know that I know who she is anymore.
