the california sun cascading down my face

thanksgiving arrives. as usual, my cousin, aunt and uncle come over.

this. is my family:
(before relatives arrive)

dad: (walks into my room) wanna go get the beer?
me: (preoccupied on comp) ...huh? yeah sure. maybe later.
dad: k. (leaves)

me: (5 min later) ...wait.

(later, relatives arrive, i tell cuz dad wants beer. we decide to go get it. we go down. dad hands me money. i try to hand it to my cuz.)

cousin: why you handing it to me for?!
me: psh so you can buy it duh!
mom: wait. can't you just buy it?
cousin+me: um.

mom: what? you're 18 already!

yeah.
anyways, lots of food, yadda yadda. i try to get out of picking my uncle up from my...second? cousins' house(they have the same model house as andrew ha.), so that he could come back and eat my sis's bread pudding or whatever, but instead just succeeded in making my sis and cousin come with me. we neander around inside and one of my second? cousin's french husband cooks up some mean crepes with assorted fruit and nutella...while my sis goggles and tries to learn how to make them. we come back, time passes, my relatives go home and yeah. the end.

this. is also my family:

dad: (enters mah room) so...your mom and i was thinking. since we have no idea what you like or want nowadays. we think you should just write things you want on a list and we'll just get you some of those things.
me: um. my snowboard could be my christmas present =D
dad: nono, but your snowboard is something ...something you need. youknow for mammoth and stuff. like we mean like other stuff...
me: um. okay...
dad: okay? okay. so just make your list and give it to us sometime. (leaves)

yup.
