A Note on Last Weekend's Wedding
Last weekend, my cousin got married up in the mountains of North Carolina. I did not go because that thing was a trek that would have involved a plane trip and a total of four hours of driving on top of that, as well as a hotel, and my travel budget is a little tapped at the moment. My cousin is cool, but we're pretty much on a "Facebook friends and see you at Christmas" basis, so I doubt I was missed much. My sister was on a trip to Turks and Caicos (as you do) so she didn't go either. BUT mom went, which means that she got to field the questions about whether my sister or I will ever settle down, have kids, etc. As mom is a sassypants and perfectly capable of answering these questions, I figured she would be fine. Here is a paraphrasing that is fairly close to how she quoted herself to me:
"Both of the girls have been pretty clear that I'm not getting grandkids, which is fine by me. As for getting married, they'll do it when they feel like it, IF they feel like it. I hope neither of them has any plans to 'settle down.' Ever."
My mom is available for family reunions, bar mitzvahs, anniversaries, and baby showers, if ever feel like hiring her to tell the extended family what's up.
