Mean Old Lady Part II


Letty is at it again. Prior to our journey to our respective law schools, Kyle and I chose to stay at a month "lounging" at my parent's lake cabin (at their urging). Besides being worried about money and staying in close quarters with family for an entire month, we were stoked. Yet, the idea of a month vacation was not ok on all fronts. Letty, Kyle's grandmother "Pseudo-mom," expressed early on her distaste for such a worthless vacation from reality. In the beginning, we thought her attitude could not get any worse. Never underestimate Letty.

Today, Letty called Kyle and yelped for about an hour about how irresponsible we were.


Hmmm. responsible....Loyola law school and Georgetown law school....responsible...hmmm


She continued to tell Kyle that he was selfish and lazy. Next she started to target my family. Here is a list of the insults:


Emily: bad mother to be (wha???!)

Emily: pulls kyle around by the nose

Emily: doesn't care about my health

Emily: won't buy plane tickets for you (Kyle) to see her

Emily's family: trying to trick Kyle into marrying their daughter


there was more but Kyle stopped telling me....I was getting upset...


What am I supposed to do? Do I just ignore her attitude and try to get along happily with her? Is that even possible? I am suppose to go visit her in a month for a week. I am thinking I might ask about her health on the hour every hour. Additionally, I will attempt to carry a watermelon around with me at all times cooing and refraining from shaking the poor thing.
