That Other Marriage

So Sunday, my dad calls me before work to update me on what's been going on. That's when things got really funny.

Apparently my mom's been really busy this week with meetings for the Chamber and Vanessa's softball games, plus she's leaving on Thursday to come out here for my cousin's wedding. My dad good naturally complained that he wasn't getting a day off this week and my mom shot back that he had one off last week in which he got to go to Minnesota to see his daughter so quit complaining.

This is when Melissa stepped in with "Daughter? What daughter?"

To which my dad replied "the one from my first marriage?"

Apparently Melissa got this stupid look of disbelief on her face until she says, "oh yeah. Lisa's in Minnesota!"

Right then Vanessa popped around the corner and Mel says to her "Ness, did you know we have a half sister?" and Dad adds "and one with only half a brain?"

At this Vanessa leans around the partition that separates the Kitchen from the rest of the restaurant and shouts across the room to Eliza "Hey we have a half sister with only half her body parts!"

When I hang up and relate the story to Toshia she starts laughing and asks if his first wife was a blue woman. This of course has to do with that wonderful running joke about me being found on the doorstep. And how in high school when my hands got dyed blue from helping Toshia with her hair it wasn't really dye, but my home planet calling for me.
