I thought it was the funniest thing I had ever seen in the whole world, and I laughed about it for three hours.
At first, my mom and Aunt Helen kind of laughed, too, because they were happy that I was laughing.
Supposedly, I didn’t talk hardly at all when I was a little kid, and whenever I seemed normal, they were happy.
But into the third hour, they were trying to make me stop laughing, but it only made me laugh harder.
I don’t think it was really three hours, but it seemed like a long time. I still think about it every now and then.
It seems like a rather “auspicious” beginning. After hugs and handshakes, we went into my grandma’s house,
and the whole dad-side-of-the- family was there. Great Uncle Phil with his fake teeth and my aunt Rebecca, who is my dad’s sister.
Mom told us that Aunt Rebecca just got divorced again, so we shouldn’t mention anything.
All I could think about was the cookies, but Grandma didn’t make them this year because of her bad hip.
We all sat down and watched television instead, and my cousins and my brother talked about football.
And my Great Uncle Phil drank. And we ate dinner. And I had to sit at the little kids’ table
because there are more cousins on my dad’s side of the family.
