I need to move

Mollie did the weirdest thing today. She was sitting on the couch and I had to use the bathroom after consuming more than half a pot of coffee and from the position she was sitting in she had a good view of the bathroom door. Anyway, I did my thing and then when I came out she looks at me funny and is like, "did you just go to the bathroom with the lights off?"
"What? No."
"Yes you did, I saw it. The lights were off, but they came on when you washed your hands."
"No…they were on the whole time."
"No they weren’t."
"Yes, they were."
"No, they weren’t."
"Mollie, I was the one in there, I think I would know. Maybe you just saw the florescent bulbs finally warming up."
"No, I know what I saw."

Then later when my mom came downstairs…

"Mom, Laura pees with the lights off."
"No, I don’t! Why do you keep arguing this?"
"I just think it’s weird. Normally people don’t pee in the dark."
"I know that, that’s why I go with the lights on."
"The lights were off."
"No, they were on!"
"They were off while you were peeing or doing whatever it is you do in there."

FUCKING HELL. SHE MANAGED TO TURN HER STUPID LITTLE MIND-FART INTO AN ACCUSATION!!! Con-fucking-grats, Mollie, you’re still a bitch. For a second you had me fooled into thinking that we were okay again, that you weren’t going to accuse me of purging anymore. Well, thanks for letting me know I was wrong!

But really now, isn’t that the strangest thing to fight over?
It’s even weirder because it means she was even looking at the bathroom door while I was in there. Creeeeeeeepy.
And just in case there’s still any doubt in anyone’s mind, the lights were in fact on the entire time.

 

OKAY. So, I didn’t mean for this to be an entry about my bathroom experience. I’m sorry.

I’m looking forward to Thanksgiving tomorrow and seeing Arianna again. =)

I’m not looking forward to Friday, however. We’re going down to see Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma doesn’t know that her birthday is tomorrow, she thinks it’s still summer. She’s lost all concept of time because she sleeps so much. Grandpa finally gave in awhile back and hired a nurse to come over and help out sometimes. I don’t really want to be around a stranger in my grandparents’ house, but I also don’t want Mom or Grandpa or myself to have to help Grandma to the bathroom or anything… I don’t want to see her like that because that’s not how I want to remember her. Christ. I’m crying.

Wow.. your sister is… i don’t even know.. its as if she had her ear pressed up against the door just to hear you pee. Good luck with seeing your grandparents… that would be hard… Happy Thanksgiving

What a crazy thing to argue about! She just pulled it out of her butt! It must be so hard to see your grandma like that.

Scott tells me American Thanksgiving is the catalyst for Christmas music and decorations in the US. Here people don’t have any clear cues on when to start, so they do it whenever. 😉 Stores usually have decorations by mid-November and a lot of people get their tree in early December.
