‘You know, it’s pure stupidity.’

Posted on Mar 25, 2008 under she-who-shall-not-be-named |

There is nobody that I dislike more than she-who-shall-not-be-named; my stuttering, belly dancing, considerably young stepmother. However, her mother (who I have referred to in my previous blogs as GRANDMA) gives her quite a run for her money.

As my good friend Mary can attest, my rants about GRANDMA were constant when I was spending a considerable amount of time in her presence (a couple of years ago). Her head-banging to country music, her repugnant taste in fashion, her annoying aura, her constant yapping… the like. It was a bad scene.

It had been a while since I had seen GRANDMA, and I was quite contented about the lack of GRANDMA in my life… until two weeks ago. I kid you not, this was the first conversation she’s had with me in years.

GRANDMA- Tori, I heard you bought an expensive camera.
Me- I guess you could say that.
GRANDMA- Now, what’s with kids and buying expensive cameras?
Me- Care to elaborate?
GRANDMA- Well, you know, it’s pure stupidity.
Me- Excuse me?
GRANDMA- I mean, why buy an expensive camera?

I mean, why buy a car when you can roll around in a box? With a big sail as a means of acceleration? That way she could float along into the ether and annoy somebody else.

I cannot fathom why my father would ever leave our family and marry into this despicable one.

At least I got an adorable half evil baby brother out of the deal.

And one who slightly resembles a potato.

Replacement children. I digress.

    How did this conversation come about? Does she call you to have a chat or what?

    HAHA thankfully no. I was at my father’s place and she was there, too.

    I know the feeling. My grandfather re-married ’step grandmother’ less than a year after my grandma died. At my high school graduation she grabbed my diploma out of my hands so I ‘wouldn’t lose it’. I was a little pissed especially since I was 18 and pretty responsible at that point… not to mention about to give it to my mom. I think instead of trying so hard they should just let the step people come to them.

    Pushy buggers, these step-grandparents, eh?
