post-Thanksgiving update

Went home to see my parents, was appropriately snarky at Mom. (The quote of the night, I think was "Just imagine what we'd be like if we were raised in a loving and caring household." to which her response was "Oh fuck you."

After that, went over to [livejournal.com profile] the_corruption's house. Goddamn his kids are huge. Seriously. His two-year old was almost the same size as one of his friends' five-year old. His one-year old is already walking, and the size I normally associate with two-year olds.

A funny bit came about when his oldest kid walked in the room, looked at my brother Eric (who is over there a couple times a month, usually), then looked at me, and asked "which one is Uncle Eric?", apparently completely missing the fact that I have a beard and mustache, and Eric doesn't.

I also saw the silliest thing ever. [livejournal.com profile] the_corruption has a TomTom with the voices of Beavis and Butthead on it. It will give the wrong directions. "Turn right here. No wait, left! Left!" Or just incredibly poor directions. "Your turn is um... in 300 something. Miles."

I think she was just being silly.

Probably.

I have taken trips before where it was, "Turn left in 300 miles".

Yeah, but since it's Beavis and Butthead giving the instructions, it's supposed to be yards or feet. Literally, with the Beavis and Butthead personality installed on this thing, it will give you wrong directions or make you miss your turn because you're laughing too goddamned hard.
