XX vs XY

You know what I realized? Even though girls often complain about how much easier guys have things in life...we'll always be prettier than them. :)

...even if that pretty takes us 30 minutes longer than the time it takes guys to get ready. :P

Three strikes and yeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrr OUT!!!!!

I barely know ANYTHING about baseball. Okay let's face it...I know practically nothing about baseball. Luckily though, this post is not about baseball. It's about my sister...Sanya.

DISCLAIMER: Much of this post will contain me making fun of, mocking, and/or just being annoyed with her. However, it needs to be noted that I do in fact love, care about, and have good times said sister. Those times though, will not be discussed at this moment.

Strike ONE: Today, my mom and us three youngins went to Target and BJ's. After we came out of Target, mom and I were putting bags away in the back and I saw some big yellow honkin' car truck thing drive by and I called, "Yellow honkin' car truck thing!" (My family has a tradition of yelling "Yellow car/truck/van/whatever it is!!!") So mom looks, laughs at its odd shape, and then we get in the car. As I'm getting in, I hear Sanya say, "Yellow car!" and see she's looking at what I just pointed out. But I figured it was kinda pointless to go, "I already CALLED that" so I let it be.

I drive over to BJ's (which is in the same plaza) and as I'm parking, mom yells, "Yellow car!" I look and then say, "Mom...that's the same car I called over at Target" and she's like "Oh..." and then SANYA hops in and says "I called that car!" Well this is what the conversation that ensued looked like...

Me: "I saw it first when mom and I were outside the car."
Sanya: "I called it! You just didn't hear me!"
Mom: (sensing tension rising and wanting to stop a disaster) "Well technically neither of you get it...cause when both of you called it we weren't in a moving vehicle. So it's my point!"

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT THE RULE THAT THE PERSON CALLING THE CAR MUST BE IN A MOVING VEHICLE TO RECEIVE A POINT HAS ALWAYS BEEN ENFORCED AND KNOWN TO BE A LEGIT RULE.

Me: "Okay fine..."
Sanya: "When has THAT been a rule??"
Me: "Uhhhh...forever? We've always had that rule."
Sanya: "Well I don't remember it."
Me: "It's always been the rule...mom gets the point."

At this point, I was climbing out of the car...Josh quickly following after me. I looked back, and saw that mom and Sanya were still in the car...with Sanya crying. My goodness gracious...

Strike TWO: When we were shopping in BJ's, an announcement was made that the store was gonna give away free gifts and there was some demo to show people and so mom went off to check it out but she told us three kids we could keep shopping if we wanted. So we did. Went through the list...found out jawn...it was going well. UNTIL I asked Sanya to get Bagel Bites...

We were about to go down another aisle when I realized we passed the frozen food section but we needed Bagel Bites. So I asked Sanya if she would go get some for us. EONS later...I see her walking back up to me and Josh...with Pizza Rolls. Here was the conversation that followed:

Sanya: "I got Pizza Rolls cause I couldn't find Bagel Bites."
Me: "But we don't need Pizza Rolls."
Sanya: "But I like them."
Me: "We have some at home so we don't need to buy more."
Sanya: "But I like them."
Me: "No...we have enough at home. We don't have to buy extra."
Sanya: "Well when we all sat down today and talked about what we like for lunch and what we're gonna get we mentioned Pizza Rolls, so I got them."
Me: "No...mom asked us what we like to eat for lunches during the summer. We mentioned Bagel Bites, Pizza Rolls, ravioli, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches...but only Bagel Bites and ravioli got put on the shopping list cause we have Pizza Rolls and peanut butter and jelly and bread at home."
Sanya: *SIGH* "Fine I'll go put them back..."

She takes three steps away from me, stops, turns back with her head over her shoulder, and says, "But you don't need to be so DEFENSIVE about it..." and then whips her head back around and keeps walking.

It was HYSTERICAL. Josh and I looked at each other and we were like WHAT IN THE WORLD??? We just started laughing...and then I say to him, "I thought I handled that pretty well..." and he agrees with me that I did. So I giggle and say in a sing-songy voice, "I'm gonna tell mom!" Which I did...and she laughed about it too.

Strike THREE: At BJ's, we bought a frozen pizza for dinner. Got home...heated it up, and then ended up eating in the living room because our dining room table was a mess. So we got out our two TV tables (little stands that make eating on a couch SO much easier) and put one in front of each couch...one where Sanya was sitting, one where Josh was sitting. I went to get the drinks, and I came back with mine and Sanya's. I put my water on the right side of the table and her milk on the left side. I turn to walk away but she looks up and me and asks, "Why did you put mine over THERE?" Now...sometimes I see the logic in her questions...there's some sense behind them. This though? Uhhh...kinda just weird and annoying. But I tried to stay calm...here's the conversation:

Me: "Because that way when I come to sit down, I won't have to walk around the TV table and avoid the living room table. I can just slide onto the couch and have my food in front of me."
Sanya: "But I'm sitting HERE."
Me: "I thought it'd be easier for you to scooch over a bit then for me to have to go out of my way to sit down...but fine." *I pick up the glasses and switch their places*
Sanya: "Nevermind. It's fine."

Me: "OBVIOUSLY not..." *I don't move them back*
Sanya: "No I said NEVERMIND!"
Me: "You know what? This isn't worth it...I'm sitting with Josh." *picked up my glass and went and put it on his TV table*

Strike three. She's OUT.
