okay, backtracking.....gotta love it so last saturday I went to Gary and Judy's house for Luca's 'welcome to america' party...I called a few ppl seeing if they would be willing to attend it with me, but everyone was busy...so I reluctantly got in the car and went... I got there, thinking that kenzie and whitney should be there so it wouldn't be so extremely terrible, but no, they never show up. the only other person besides me that was younger than 36 were these two girls, Madison and Mackenzie, who were 10 and 8 but they were just being little girls and playing around and chasing eachother and stuff and I was staying up on the porch and following my mom around the whole night... so my mom and I sit down at a table and Tonya (my cousin...she's the one thats 36) joins us a few minutes later...then Madison and Mackenzie come up and ask to sit by us...so we're all sitting around talking and Tonya starts asking Madison and Mackenzie about their dad who apparently was into drugs really bad and stuff and they lived in a trailor with him, but he got hauled off to jail and then their mom started going out with this guy who "has gross tattoos and piercings everywhere who is mean to [Madison and Mackenzie]" and then Tonya, mama, and Madison got up from the table and I was talking to Mackenzie and she said, "Yeah, I never told anyone, but when I was about Madisons age, my mom started throwing me against the wall a lot...it really hurt for a while, but you get used to it". OMG, it was so sad! and these girls are so cute! but anyway, Tonya, mama, and Madison joined Mackenzie and I again and then JR (Tonyas real dad) came over and Mackenzie gave him a mean look because he always tickles her and she said, "Hey, you better watch it, Mister"..lol, it was cute! but then Tonya looks at JR and said, "Haha, was it this one *pointing to Mackenzie* that said that to you...remember?" JR: "Yeah, that was Mackenzie" Tonya: "You prolly don't remember what you said to him a few years ago, do you Mackenzie?" Mackenzie: "Umm...no...what'd I say?" Tonya: "Mk, well, it was a quite few years ago...you were prolly 6...but JR was bugging you and you turned around to him and said, 'If you don't stop, I'll beat the sh*t outta you!'" and mama and I just started busting out laughing, madison looked absolutely shocked that her sis said that, and Mackenzie was like, "no i didn't...did i?" oh my gosh, it was soo funny!!! Madison goes, "UMM, I'm gonna tell grandpa" and Tonya goes, "Hunny, your grandpa doesn't give a sh*t" and then covers her mouth quickly and Madison goes, "ummmmmmmmm!!!" lol...fun kids but later on that night, I was giving madison and mackenzie piggyback rides and pulling them in a wagon and Mackenzie kept asking all these questions about me...she looked at my ring on my middle finger and goes, "Are you married?" "No" "Then why do you have a ring?" "Well, that's not my ring finger" "do you have a boyfriend?" "no" "you need a life" "excuse me..why do you say that?" "b/c you don't have a boyfriend" "do you have a boyfriend?" "no" "oh, well you need a life" "WHAT?! I have a life, thanks" ...kids are so hypocritical. and if I had madison on my back, mackenzie would take madisons shoes and madison would be like, "OH, run Lauren!!! RUNN!!!" and I can hardly run normally...but with 60 extra lbs on my back...wasn't pretty...and mackenzie goes, "You should be thanking us...we're giving you a work out" I was like, "Thats for sure" and Mackenzie goes, "Thats for d*mn sure.....I heard Tonya say that"...glad Tonyas a good influence.... but later on, I was pulling them in the wagon away from the bonfire and Madison pulled Mackenzies hair and for some reason Mackenzie said the word 'testicle' and Madison goes, "What's that?!" and Mackenzie said, "It's a guys....thing...down there" and Madison goes, "Lauren, do you know what a testicle is?" "Yes, Madison" "Oh, what is it?" "uh..hmm.....Mackenzie was right" and mackenzie goes, "I KNEW IT!" lol..funny girls man, yesterday was "every-hot-guy-go-to-the-mall" day...shooooweeee uh, it's hot in our house....I think I'm gonna go over to cindy's house to swim....yay! bye
