Because That's How We Roll in My Family

This is how my 74-year-old father arrived at my house this past Wednesday to watch my kids while I tried to get some rest.

He could not understand why I could not stop laughing when I saw him. Apparently, my dad picked up one of my younger brother's t-shirts and put it on without even looking at it.

My father is not the only one of my family's elders to have committed such a Jerry Springer-like fashion faux pas. His 78-year-old sister, who is dang near a nun, once went to church sporting a "Party Naked" t-shirt. Like my father, she picked a shirt out of a bag of clothes that her college-aged niece was giving away. My aunt put the shirt on without even looking at what it said. She was appalled when we told her what her shirt said. She screamed, WHAT??! I received communion like this!! What I would've given to have seen that priest's face!

So this apparently runs in the family. At least I have this to look forward to in about 40 years.
