Oct. 23rd, 2010 01:47 pmI keep meaning to post something, but it'd either be a giant post about how lame my life is right now (which, believe me, you want to read about even less than I want to be living it) or flailing about how Tricia and Katee are the cutest ever and their Ustream is quite literally the highlight of my day but instead I'm going to leave you with this gem: my parents want grandchildren.
First it was my mom, idly mentioning it, always with the addendum that she's happy to wait until I'm ready for them, which, considering she was in her thirties when she got married and had me, is pretty decent of her.
Now my dad has mentioned like, four times in a week how the only thing his life is missing is grandchildren, and why don't I just go find a nice boy and get married and have a baby? Because, you know. Nice boys are just lying about the wayside waiting to be snatched by opportunistic girls like me who need to have a baby, stat. He also seems to think that his dream job for me, being a lawyer, is something very easily attainable and I'm just not trying. Like, dude, even if I knew for certain I wanted to be a lawyer, it's not like getting in law school is a walk in the park. In addition to being very expensive, it's kind of competitive. But, back to the grandchildren aspect, he has mentioned this four times.
We're all pretty baby-crazy in my house, but my dad is always in baby-crazy stealth mode. My mother and sister and I are very vocal in our baby mania, so I kind of expect it from my mom. But from my dad? Several times this week? When, not only am I not married, I'm not even seeing anyone?
I have told him several times he better put his money on Mel, because she's in a relationship and seeing some guy in Tallahassee and there are like six guys who have intense crushes on her and is incredibly social, so the chances of her getting married and having kids before me are very, very high; also, if he's so desperate, he can always go borrow his brother's grandkids, because my Padrino has four currently and one on the way. Either way, sorry, Dad: you picked the wrong daughter.
