Sisters-in-law can be fun, too

I'm trying to stay involved in my little girl's life as she gets older and spends less and less time at home.  I guess part of the reason for me writing all these things down is to help keep the memories alive and fresh.  The stories end up in no particular order and usually pop up as I'm reminded of them from other conversations.  The best ones almost always involve my sister-in-law poking fun at me for another thing I did that will make her say, "What were you thinking?"  My sister-in-law (SIL for short) is really smart - she's a lawyer and stuff after all.

I thought I'd share a facebook conversation between SIL and T and Mickey ... (names changed to protect the not-so-innocent)

From Mickey to T: Love you

SIL: OMG! Tori, I totally love you too! Let's all talk about how much we love Tori. Who wants to see her baby pictures? By the way Micky, I'm T's fabulous Aunt SIL who will be embarrassing her periodically.

Mickey: haha so i heard all the cheers you and her mom do now

T: FML! great now ya'll are gonna start talkin and crap

SIL: Do now? Micky, I don't think you understand, it's a do always kind of situation. I write new stuff all the time.

T: ok you can stop talkingggggg!!!!!!

SIL: Look at that Tori, you were right, we talked to each other. OH NO!

Mickey: lol word dont worry i embarress her in front of my friends to

SIL: Well then you'll fit right into the family Micky.

T: you to hush

SIL: OMG! T we're still talking! Oh the humanity of it all!

T: your not funny k dont make me get the crackin

Mickey: lol i guess

SIL: Okay, first of all, you better keep the Cracken in it's lair, there's no need for all of that. But you know what there is a need for, I should get your mom in on this convo. I know you wouldn't want her left out of all of the fun. She can chat with Micky and I.

T: Thanks micky look what you started

Mickey: hahahahaha she already wants to talk to me about facebook anyway

T: well thats yall to not me

SIL: It's true Micky. My sister does indeed want to talk about the Facebooking. And in all fairness T, he didn't really start anything, I was just lying in wait.

T: lying in wait ?

T: andd ohhhh your in troubleeee

SIL: It means, I was just waiting for the right time to strike.

Mickey: about to jump out

SIL: Precisely.

T: w/e

SIL: Hey, you asked. Now, who wants to see those baby pictures of T? I've got some good ones.

Mickey: upload?

T: Aww i got such a cute butt :D

SIL: Oh, I'll have to scan some in, especially the one where she tried to cut her own hair.

T: i dont remember that

Mickey: hahaha

Mickey: thats y she just gasped on the phone

SIL: I'm sure you will when you see the picture.

SIL: Ha ha ha ha ha ha. Thank God I'm buying a new scanner tomorrow. Mwah ha ha.

T: ill burn it

SIL: Wait, a minute, the phone? It's 1:24 am. Micky, what are you doing on the phone and the internet so late with my niece?

T: hey what am i gettin for easter???

SIL: I feel that your threats are hollow.

Mickey: o the usual its not late its early in the morning

SIL: Well, you're getting that which you can't ever get enough of...my love.

T: No i want candyyy

T: and your moms hollow

T: jk

SIL: Nice try, but that logic isn't exactly going to fly with me. Remember, I'm old so I've already tried probably every excuse you're gonna throw out there.

SIL: Yeah, you better put the "jk" before I tell your grandmother what you just said. LOL.

T: waht? who are you talking to

T: lol you wouldnt

SIL: The logic comment was to Micky, the rest to you.

SIL: And you know I would too.

T: hahahha oh

Mickey: wish i had an easter basket im to old

T: whyyyyyy

T: oh w/e hush moms makin you one

SIL: Is it made with love Tori?

T: oh lots and lots

Mickey: i kno the feeling of being old mommas sister

T: my moms older then her

SIL: Umm, well God love ya' for thinking ya' know. Just wait 10 more years and then you'll fully understand. LOL.

SIL: Your mom is WAY older than me. And by way I mean 5 years and 9 months.

Mickey: i dont want to be old i still got to much crap to do before that happens

T: lol your only 14 years older then me

SIL: Well, I think you're probably safe for now.

T: i am safe thank you ver much

SIL: I know, I was there when you were born. Actually, I may have been in World History with Mr. Whetzel at the time, but you get the point.

T: who that

SIL: The safe comment was directed at Micky, what in the h*ll are you talking about Miss?!?!?

T: idk......being safe duhhhh like seat belts

Mickey: eh depends on wat u mean by safe

SIL: Mmmm hmmm.

Mickey: safe as in dont do anything stupid?

SIL: I was talking safe as in, you're safe that you aren't going to be old any time soon Micky. But yes, DON'T do anything stupid, because stupid calls down the wrath of Aunt SIL and as T can tell you, it isn't pretty.

T: Oh no it isnt lol and ummm hes a good kid thank you very much

T: like me O:)

SIL: Well you're mom vouches for him, so I'm good with her review. She gave you a good review as well T, which is nice since you're her daughter and all.

T: yay

Mickey: well thank you youll prob meet me soon haha

T: umm my aunt lives in maryland babe

SIL: It's true, I do. But your mom wants me to come visit soon, so we'll see what we can pull off.

T: yay you get the couch

SIL: And by "you get the couch" I know that you mean, "Sure Aunt SIL, I am totally fine with sleeping on the couch and giving up my bed, since I spent the entire last vacation we took together with my butt in your back as you were trying to sleep."

T: hahahahahah we share bed?

SIL: Absolutely not!

T: why

SIL: See the above comment.

T: so

SIL: So, I don't want you smelly butt smashed against my back again. You silly fool.

T: Lol it wont

SIL: Mmmm hmmm. And on the smelly butt note, I'm done harassing you two fools for now. Micky, it was nice making an overly long Facebook convo with you, treat my niece well so I'm not forced to school you. T it's 2 am. take yourself to bed, and keep the Cracken away.

Mickey: yes maam always night

SIL:Good answer. Ok kids, night. :-D
