the mckenzie's

I really want to blog about how funny my family is. You may not find this funny, cause my writing is too limited or you can't relate, but I'm going to try.
My family centers around my mother, a Pentecostal Italian who works a lot at home and office, and never stops asking questions. My dad is like a supporting actor who occasionally steps into the main role. He's usually pretty quiet, in the background reading or sleeping. My brother Steve has moved out, but he was kinda like my mom. I'm similar to my dad. Finally, my grandma lives about 4 blocks away, so she comes over often and sits in our living room.

here's a typical night

I came home from hanging out with some C4C'ers, and walk into my living room, where grandma and my mom were watching Mr. Bean on a TV. It looks like my mom brought her bedroom DVD-TV down and put it on one of the fold-up dinner tables (classic). So I say hi, kiss grandma, and mom and grandma continue their convo. Looks like grandma would like a combo-DVD TV as well. My mom catches me before I get up the stairs, "Andrew, come back, I want to ask you something important," (no surprise there).
"Yeah mom?"
"How much do you think a TV like this cost?"
"Yeah, probly get one for a hundred bucks?"
"See ma, a hundred bucks."
"Reeaally?" Grandma raises her eyebows, a little skeptical, "Do they sell them at Wal-Mart?"
"Oh yeh, for sure. You can definitely find one for under a hundred," I said. My mom looked pleased, and grandma a bit relieved.

So then I walked up the stairs, past the $800 painting my mom got for $10 at a Japanese bazaar, and into my room to read. My dad was reading with the TV on.
