Tolerance

We have seventeen people living together in one medium-sized house this week. Tolerance is a necessity, and it's difficult, to say the least.

For instance, I drove in my mother's car from Atlanta to Hilton Head. Truckers ripped on by my luxury vehicle, honked their horns and gave me high fives. I thought, at first, that they thought I was cute. And then I realized that they were showing me approval for this:

Single Dad / Disabled Daughter said...

FWIW, I think you are cute!

willow said...

Heehee!! Too funny. But I bet they thought you were pretty cute, too. I'm readying the manor for a group of family scheduled to descend in 10 short days.

Sandra said...

My parents and I have many things we did not agree on. Thankfully, that was not one of them. Tolerance indeed!

Hahhahahhha. Noooooooooo.

I guess those truckers are looking for a cute Republican. Hope you get to swim at Hilton Head, cool down and relax. x0 N2

That is classic! Tolerance and humor sometimes need to go hand in hand. xoxo

HAH! I can just picture your expression! And your 17 people totally beats our 6 people, even though my 6 are all crazy Italians.

adrienne said...

ahh! the conjoined joys of family and politics.

a blessed excercise, indeed.

godspeed.

You made me laugh with this one. I'm pretty sure that the honking was induced by the perfect blend of cute AND republican :)

Kathleen Scott said...

I'm chuckling. You never know, do you? And your sweet mother loves you in spite of your differences. I have the same difference with mine...from time to time we have to agree to disagree--and not talk about it.

Hope everyone has a good time at Hilton Head, and Sophie enjoys the Atlantic beaches.

When things get rough, remember it could be worse ... you could be living under the same roof with 16 other people ALL the time!

How can you always be so damn funny? Just read through your "travelogue" here. Hope you are having some fun.

That is hilarious - is it irony? - not sure what to call it, but thank you for sharing it.
