Hah! My dad made a joke about bondage, directed at my mum, at a family dinner once. Relatives are weird and should not be allowed to talk to anyone.

@Bort – ( . )

@Davidgorham – Oh I’m glad to hear that! Being pregnant is so inconvenient.

@ellie – honesty is all well and good until your aunty starts telling you about her pubic hair going grey.

@ambrosemrosie – haha that’s gold. I bet taxi drivers get so many emergency calls on Christmas Day. “My family is insane. Please come and get me, take me far away…”

@Paul – I really do hate christmas. It’s my least favourite time of the year. I have a nervous breakdown every December, no joke.

@Natalie – yeah but, in a good way?

Think you might have outdone yourself there, Chick.

Look, quit being cryptic.

Are you trying to say in the most obfuscate way possible (or at least imply) that you don’t really enjoy Christmas?

Santa died on the cross so people like you can enjoy Christmas.

Actually that might be Labour Day. I can’t remember.

Not too long at all. I totally dig this. I like the way you end with a previous bit, it echoes the horrible way Christmas keeps reoccurring, like a persistent case of genital herpes. I mean, Christmas is like herpes. Not, your story is like herpes.

A couple of Christmasses (Christmi?) ago I rang for a taxi to come and take me and my sister away from my parents interminable screaming matches. When the taxi rocked up, my mum went mental, and chased the poor taxi driver away. Ah, Christmas.

I love this blog post. I like the honesty in your family. My family Christmases consist of everybody smiling and being super polite, then really drunk, then launching into vicious bitch sessions about various family members whenever they’re out of earshot. Not nearly as exciting as yours though.

“Well I’m not pregnant,” I replied.

Awesome.
