A Summary Of What It's Like To Sit Next To A 10 Year Old At Dinner

(my apologies for the flood of posts).

HERE is what it's like to sit next to a 10 year old (cousin) at dinner, in short:

"Hi!!!!!! So this one time this really funny thing happened when I was with my sisters and these people who you've never met but whose names I'm going to use anyway as if you know them--but before I finish that anecdote, let me first get completely distracted and end up summarizing three movies that I recently saw. Actually, summarizing would be incorrect of me to say, rather I'm going to tell you about three movies in excruciating detail, to the point where you feel like you've actually seen these three terrible movies that you thought were so bad that when they were actually in theaters you decided against paying to see them. After I'm done giving you a shot-by-shot analysis of exactly what the plot is in these films, I'll switch subjects to the boy I have a crush on. I won't actually explain to you that I have a crush on this boy, instead I'll just use his name as if you know him personally, and I'll tell you in great detail about how we pass notes and throw pieces of paper at each other. Then I'm going to switch to a couple seconds of picking at my food in silence.....which I'll then interrupt when I remember that I still haven't finished my original story about my sisters and me and our friends, whose names and distinct personalities you've now completely forgotten thus rendering you completely confused and hopelessly treading water in this sea of information. By this point though, dinner is through, so I promise to finish my story when I see you at Christmas, at which point you'll tell me that you forgot how the story started, so I'll have to start this whole process ALLLLLLL the way from the beginning, making sure that you will never hear the end of the original anecdote."


Hhahaha, I love my cousins.....
