You have to laugh. I’m glad you’ve got a brother and cousins who have your back. Me and my mom still don’t talk about it because “it’s just a phase.” 50 year phase, Ma! It makes me wish I came out as bi to my Dad, but I tore his biceps in our final arm wrestling contest and I’m not sure his macho ass could’ve handled it.
Wow! So excellent and spot on. I have great faith in the all accepting next generation. Have fun at the wedding! Time celebrating with family is always special.
"I know Mom. I fuck them." Thank you. I am dead. That was ... priceless. Your nieces and nephews and most of your sibs are the BEST!
My secret talent is a dead impression of our dad, and my two sibs and I have collections of traumatic-at-the-time-but-sort-of-funny-now quotes from our parents. (Sort of because my goddam therapist refuses to laugh when I tell them the stories, just looks at me all sad eyes and says "that must have hurt a lot" ... Like ffs shut up and laugh ...).
Anyways, as a parent myself, I tried hard, but can't help but wonder which of my lines the kids repeat and laugh about. So many to choose from.
Imagine my horror when my mother wanted me to stand with her at her second marriage wearing a lavender dress. I did indeed look ridiculous. I’m sure my deceased father was smiling.
Back in 1999, my butch lesbian wife was told to absokutely not to cut her hair before her sister's wedding and was made her wear a bridesmaid's dress. The pictures are hilarious but also sad because she looks so natural with short hair and looks GREAT in a suit. Her mom made a horrible decision on that one.
“And we’ll laugh about it because, goddamn.”
This sentence contains multitudes. You have such a talent for conveying a thousand things in just a few words. So fucking good.
I love everything about this piece, but this particular sentence just slayed me. ❤️

I swear to all the gods that I. Do. Not. Fangirl .....and yet
Yes, thank God for them. This was seriously funny and thank God you can write it now. Seriously good!
thanks to fuck for the cousin who know the crazy, and discourage strictly unnecessary ass kicking

"Put some lipstick on... you'll FEEL better." - my mom, always.
I get it.
Are there photos of the suit? 😳
