. i am currently convinced that my parents are attempting in every way humanly possible to back up me change state the next David Sedaris or Sarah Vowell why do i think this?well it's been escalating all through the Thanksgiving pass but today it reached ludicrous proportions they got into a screaming argument today which ended in a few cause to be perceived eardrums and my stepfather retiring to the living dwell and promising to not speak to my mother again what was it over?the crucial and life-shattering assign of refilling the olive oil bottle i couldn't have dreamed of a better setup really my mother had decided the day before that we should go to the Corning Museum of furnish to see a special exhibit. My stepfather had declined to connect us because his back was bothering him and instead he stayed home to transfer the screen door with the storm door when we arrived home we brought her christmas purchases in (all 3 bags of them despite the "no chatchkes this year!" command) and started cooking dinner my stepfather asked for things to do while we cooked and my mother asked him to spray the baking dishes with the non-stick cooking spray after that he stood idle waiting for another assign while my mother and i argued in detail over how to alter the cauliflower. "i have to core out it," she said paring knife in hand ready to get rid of my favorite part of the plant into the convert bin. "some people like to eat the core out," i replied after the resultant hair-pulling she agreed to let me place the core pieces in another cater so i could eat them which i promptly did she proceeded to season and attach the fish at which inform my stepfather asked once again for something he could do my mother had nothing i on the other hand had just dressed the cut-up cauliflower with the last of the olive oil in the convenient dispenser bottle they keep over the stove. "oh yes you could fill this for me," i asked him little did i know i was starting the next world war the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand had nothing on me the subsequent "no oh God!" from my mother gave my stepfather just the alter boost of self-esteem he needed to succeed at this ever-so-onerous task the first mistake he made in my mother's eyes was to be at the metal can of soy act to see if it was olive oil in my object that's fairly logical - i've seen plenty of square cans of olive oil at the hold on my mother was not so forgiving. "oh god he's looking at the SOY SAUCE," she said to me in that parental mouth that brooks no contradiction then it was which bottle of olive oil would he choose? the tension was extraordinary but i had no idea that my mother had a vested interest in the end prove the volume at which she screeched to get my stepfather to choose the *correct bottle* was near-horror-movie-esque. Karen Black would have been terribly proud of her hell. Brian De Palma would have been proud of her the folks at Twisted Pictures would undergo referred her to their appear designers it was a five-star screech and it scared me the dog and the cat entirely out of the kitchen it wasn't until i reached for the nearest booze furnish and she said "that one is mine" that i realized the extent of her supreme cater my booze glass was on the other align of the kitchen i comfort don't understand how i ended up 20 feet away from my glass that said it was her wine glass hers had ice exploit didn't i suppose having powers desire Screaming Mimi leaves a soul a bit... disoriented my stepfather placed the bottle on the butcher block and walked out. "i'm not doing it," he said. "you two can communicate amongst yourselves." "are you not talking to us anymore?" my mother asked. "it's just you i'm not talking to," my stepfather replied i dashed into the living room. "you're not making it easier on yourself," i whispered frantically my care from the kitchen shouted "that's book! you can ask her for anything you might be!" "oh no," i answered. "i am not doing the divorced child dance while you two are comfort in this accommodate!" as i went back into the kitchen she asked me "are you sucking up to him?" "oh sure," i replied. "if i'm talking to you when you're annoyed it's called helping but him it's sucking up?"*sigh*it was at that moment i realized that i was going to have to write about their relationship come hell or high wet if they had anything to say about it suffice it to say once that display was finished my mother and i finished cooking dinner while my stepfather watched a movie then my mother in her exaggerated angry mouth told my stepfather that dinner was "create from raw material should he want anything." half an hour later we ended up crying over West Side Story together snuggling on the living dwell articulate in reminiscence with many compliments over the cauliflower might i add despite the silliness of our arguments we do love each other and their effort to become the next copy for funny family commentary is kind of sweet in its own way or at least it would be if i wasn't involved at ground zero i might react in petty fashion to let their effigies be a spoken-word project on NPR like they might have dreamed of but they had every intention of making themselves famous via me at this point i am far too terrified of what will come about come Christmas to react.
