Pantalones de la lechuzas!!
I might need to learn Spanish, my owl pant mate has it at school and seriously, whenever she starts something Spanish I need to retort one of the three (maybe four) phrases I know and I find it hilarious to no end. (and it seems easyish to learn). So pantalones de la lechuzas marks another silly reply to her simple gracias, next to oy, un yoyo es muy grande! , menti rosso!, con queso!, and el bunghole XD (Have I missed anything? Do I know more Spanish? de nada, though who needs that?)
So Christmas holidays. Has it been pleasant at all? No. Have y and your sister sided up against the injustice that is called grandmother? Hell yeah. Did your parents like that? Nope. Consequences? They were even more aggravating than usual perhaps?
I quote last year’s after Christmas post:
Some things about my grandmother: she’s stubborn and pig-headed. She’s always right. Children are always wrong. (E and I are considered children.) She and my grandfather have faced the hardships of World War II which makes them superior to us in every possible way. We don’t know real life, we lead a slovenly life (this even includes my mother.) My sister is a slacker because she likes to sleep in when possible.
And I just looked back in my archives and found the exact same post from a year ago.
I have mostly shut myself down emotionally since Christmas Eve. I don’t know what I’d do without my sister.
A bit distressing that it has always been like this and always will be until my grandmother, too, is gone. I do not push the blame on her, she has been living under a whole other set of circumstances all her life, but, but, unlike her E and I have the decency to not declare her life worthless and socially unacceptable. Interestingly, when our parents are around, she keeps her trap relatively shut, once they are out, though, she speaks her mind with a righteousness that is despicable.
So anyway, I for my part am back in Vienna to resume my abnormal lifestyle.
BUT there was snow, and snowfall, and wine, and I know loads about inheritance law and how to write a last will and testament correctly. Being deceased is hard work.
