"Favorite" Aunt Brandy needs to be strangled ....

I don't have any pictures of this one, but it HAS to be documented. My sister and her family came to visit last weeked (see the "vomit" post). You have to understand that my kids LOVE Aunt Brandy - and she just plays on that. I generally speaking find it cute and love that they think that she is so cool. I think she's pretty cool too, at least since she grew up and moved out - oh wait, I did that first ... moving on.

This visit, Josh decided that he wanted to go home with Aunt Brandy, who told him that would be fine! She backpedaled when she realized that he was ready to go NOW by telling him that (1) his Mommy would miss him if he were gone so long (to which he replied that Mommy would be happy to see him go and Mommy giggling uncontrollably behind him probably did nothing to dispell that), (2) that his bed would not fit in the "white car" (he assured her that it would fit just fine - Mommy would fit it in), and finally (3) that Santa would not know where to find him at her house. The final argument quieted him - or so we thought.

In Primary on Sunday, he was nearly in tears telling his teachers that he was late and that the white car was depending on him. Every time a car passes in front of our house (which is fairly often since we live on a pretty busy street) he heads for the window and asks if it is the white car yet. We had company for dinner and he was sure that the white car had finally come for him. No fewer that FOUR times today, Josh has come and given me a huge hug and kiss and then informed me that he loved me very much and was going to go in the white car ........

Thinking that this had gone on long enough, I helped Josh to call Aunt Brandy tonight so that she could help him to understand when we could visit again. Did Aunt Brandy help???? Oh no, she told him to pack his clothes and have Mommy put him on an airplane - you can imagine what tomorrow is going to be like. THANK YOU AUNT BRANDY!!!!! It's okay, I don't get mad .... I get even (not sure how, but suggestions are welcome)
