So my sister is in town for a week. She and her husband are staying with us. We have always had an extremely, um, volatile relationship. (Full disclosure - I think she's full on, someone needs to medicate her, BSC). So, we're watching the O'Reilly Factor (she cannot miss it) and someone I say that I can bite my tongue on most issues, except for maybe gay rights. All of a sudden, it escalates into a HUGE fight. Something about the sacrament of marriage, etc etc etc. THEN she says "Gay people can get married! They can marry a member of the opposite sex like God intended!" At this point I call her a bigot and tell her she is making a stupid argument. SHE FLIPS THE FUUCK OUT! Screaming at the top of her lungs. I am not kidding. Saying that I, like all liberals, throw insults because I have no actual argument. Also, she compared trying to "change the definition of marriage" to trying to change the definition of water. It's hydrogen and oxygen! YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE DEFINITION!!!" I think I also called that argument stupid. She flies into a SCREAMING RAGE. I was honestly worried she was going to throw a glass of wine on me. She then ran upstairs and told her husband they were leaving. Ummmm. Hello? I picked you up at the airport? You have no car? Our sick brother with a 3 month old baby lives 40 minutes away. Our Mom is equally far. Where are you going? Finally, to keep the peace, I try to apologize. She yells something about loving my gay friends more than her. I avoid the desire to tell her that I love the homeless methhead that lives downtown more than her and instead apologize repeatedly and ask her not to leave. Sorry for that novel, but when I try to talk to D he just keeps telling me to be quiet and not talk about it. HOW THE FUUCK AM I GOING TO SURVIVE THIS WEEK? SHE'S SATAN!!!
