Honest Adam

Aunt Erlynn- bitch aunt that disclaimed all my family
Uncle Mike- her ex-hubby who we love and is more part of the family than she is
Adam- their only son, my cousin, whose funny as hell!

(this story is from my uncles point of view, back when he was still married to the.. mhm uhh crazy lady :P )

"Honey, the Wester's invited us to eat dinner with them.. again." I heard the expected shriek from my wife, she came storming into the room like a bull at the red cloth. Though no color really pleased her.
"Did you tell them we were coming?" Adam was sitting at the table with that look of ponder on his face, as usual. He was one of those, "what if?" kids, always asking things like what if we hook the tractor to the tree? What if we hooked it to the house? On and on all day.
"Yes Erlynn." Then she went off on about the last time we ate over there, and how their family recipe mush made her nearly barf. Adam sat at the table giggling at his mom's descriptions.
Later that night we were sitting at the Wester's table with the family recipe on our plates. "They are giving us the stuff that makes you want to barf!" He exclaimed with bulging eyes looking at the yellow slop.
"What?" Mrs.Wester now had a confused afflicted look on her face, with her brows scrunched up together and her mouth set in a straight line. Erlynn's mouth dropped open in response.
"Oh! He's just being a silly boy don't mind him."
"No mommy!" he said jamming his finger in her direction this time, "You said you hoped they weren't serving the food that made you wanna barf!" My boy's so honest.
Mrs.Wester offered to give us something else, but Erlynn said she loved the mush and shoveled it down her throat. Yeah, I slept on the couch that night.
