Seen at Linda's Wedding:
Ross, friend of Tess, trying to gain acceptance into the Maciag clan. At the wedding, your turn at the buffet line was selected by drawing a number. Trying not to show his fear, Ross, steps up to his first test for our affection. He draws the number 1 and is instantly accepted as our newest family member. No further tests required.
Overheard in the buffet line at Linda's wedding:
Big Daddy Joe proclaims, "What is that???"
Ross Maciag, the newest member of the family, proclaiming slightly astounded, "why Big Daddy Joe, I believe that is rice."
To which Momma Anna replies with a wheezy laugh, "oh Ross, he wouldn't recognize rice unless it had Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup on it!"
Overheard at the dinner table:
Big Daddy Joe: "So I walked into the men's room and saw this seriously old man standing there and I thought, 'wow - look at that seriously old guy.' Then I realized that I was looking at my own reflection in the mirror."
Seen and heard in my brother's room:
My mother trying to cuddle with her eldest son. Tim, being touch-a-phobic, proclaiming, "bubble, bubble," which roughly translates to, 'respect my space, woman.'
My mom replying:
"Oh Tim, I birthed you buddy. You've been places your feeble mind can't possibly imagine. Get over it already."
This one is not from the past weekend, but funny none-the-less.
Overheard in the Maciag kitchen:
Big Daddy Joe:
"Anna! (think "Wilma!") "That was some weird pudding you put in my lunch today." It wasn't pudding, it was yogurt.
