My fourth of July, that is.
For starters, I finally got a phone
YAY!
Yeah...my hair wasn't in its best shape...neither was my groggy mirror.
But i was happy, even if I didn't know what I was doing half the time.
And then came the horror of texting. Sheesh, that thing should be a lot easier.
And then the realization that everyone had already made plans (well, it was the forth of July)
SO in the end I spent it with my parents at my aunts house, whom by the way wasn't at home - she had left at dawn with her lover. Yeah, she left her kids at home...alone.
One can imagine what an uproar it caused.
Specially when my grandmother arrived.
She's the type that everyone always listens to even if she says the sky is green. So when she saw what was going on, it was as if hell was loose. Such a small plump lady could actually evoke such fear on everyone.
Its terrifying yet better than any Korean drama.
WAYYYYYY better.
But to cut it short, my aunt didn't arrive home until ten in the night. And when she did, she had the dignity to cry. Don't think this fooled my grandmother though. She was like a small she-devil, ready to hack off her head.
I bet the screams were even heard out in the street despite the big booms of the fireworks.
Stuff like, "He's married! What are you thinking!" and "Leaving your children at the care of your pregnant sister! Do you realize your 18 year old son is handicapped? Did you want her to lose her baby for the sake of yours?" and "You stupid whore! How could you bring such shame on me!"
And then there was the sobbing and cries that went along the lines of: "I'm sorry!" and "He loves me!" and "He knows how to take care of himself."
And a lot more sobbing after that.
All i can say is that with a family like mine, who would ever get bored?
Yup. My night ended with the booming and smoke of fireworks and the shrilling screams of a chaotic family intervention.
Such a lovely night :)
