I was just thinking about what I was doing this time last year… well here it is. The edit at the bottom reminded me why, my sweet Nephews and my Mom’s birthday is on the 18th and my Sister always throws a big bash. This year she is doing a super hero theme. So I will be dressing as a super hero. That will make for good pictures. I am ashamed to see that I was whining about the birthday cake. I have given up birthday cake for breakfast. No more for me. *sigh* Anyway party on Sunday and then off to Beth’s on Monday!
Well… Ummm… ahhh…
We were sitting in the car in a parking lot waiting for my sister. We wait for my sister a lot.
When I spotted a man and two women crossing the street followed by a couple of boys on bicycles, a girl on a scooter, a girl on a tricycle and a teen pushing a stroller.
Me- “That looks like a nice family.”
Ben-” Two families… unless he’s a polygamist.”
Charlie-”What’s a Polygamist.”
Ben-”Let’s not go there.”
Me-” A polygamist is when a man has more then one wife and they live together as a family.”
Ben- “It isn’t legal.
Charlie-”Can a lady have more then one husband?”
Me- “Yes,but that isn’t legal either.”
Ben- “There are some countries where Polygamy is legal but most societies frown on a woman having more then one husband. You know why?”
Me-” Why?”
Ben-”Because you don’t always know who the father is but you always know who the mother is with polygamy.”
Me-” Hmmm.”
Charlie-” Mom! The Hit the Road Jack guy was a polygamist!”
Me-”Ray Charles? NO! He wasn’t a polygamist, he had a mistress.”
Charlie- “What’s a mistress?”
Me-”Ummm… (snort, snicker, none stop laughter)”
Ben-” I told you! We shouldn’t have gone there!”
Meanwhile my sister is approaching the cars. My daughter, who has been patiently and quietly waiting for her, jumps out of our car and running towards her yells
“Aunt D! We saw a POLYGAMIST.”

One more thing about Detroit I forgot. I can’t believe I forgot this I was SO upset about it.
There was a half of a birthday cake left. I helped with the clean up and set it on the counter and thought YEA! Birthday cake for breakfast!
I mean come on, don’t tell me you guys don’t do it… How often do you get birthday cake for breakfast? Once maybe twice a year?
I was seriously looking forward to it. So the next morning I came upstairs looking forward to getting a piece all of that sugary goodness…
She THREW IT AWAY! There she was with the trash bag in hand, the half of a perfectly WONDERFUL birthday cake shoved in it! To make matters worse she was licking cake crumbs from her lips!!!
I think In a few more days I may have recovered. I will have to put my dreams of a birthday cake breakfast on hold until at least November now.
Sisters, they can be so cruel.
