Being FAT is funny!

My sister and her family were here last week.  It was a blast to have them visit.  I love hanging out with her and her hubby.  It seem like when Charis and Craig, and Tom and I all get together, there is always something to laugh about.  Last week was no different, only it seemed like the funniest things revolved around the few extra pounds that most of us accumulate as we get older. 

The first funny story took place at the play 

ground at Washington Park.  It is a really cool play ground, with all sorts of slides and bridges, and it is wheel chair accessible. Anyway, one of the slides is an incredibly tight spiral slide.  It is so tight, that I think anyone much older then ten would get stuck on it.  My 20-month-old niece really wanted to go down this slide, but she was too scared to go down alone, so my sister decided to go down with her, and about halfway down she gets stuck.  Once she got off the slide, some snotty kid commented on how long he had to wait to go down the slide.  Without missing a beat Chairs turns to him and simply says, "I am sorry, but that that is what happens when FAT people go down slides."  The kid was shocked, and I swear Craig and I wear about to wet our pants, we were laughing so hard.  

Now you have got to understand, my sister is a far cry from being fat, in fact she has been loosing weight.  But holy cow, what she said was so stinking funny.

The next funny story happened later that night while we

were out to dinner.  We went to this fun little burger join in Sandy Oregon, called Calamity Jane's.  The burgers are really good, and the patties range in size from 1/3 lbs to 1 lbs.  Well, the waitress took each order, with out specifying what size patty, then she gets to Tom and she offers either  1/2 lbs, or 2/3 lbs, or 3/4 lbs (notice she did not offer the smallest size).  As the waitress was walking away, Tom says to us, "Should I be offended.... Hey FATTY, want bigger PATTY?"  Holy cow, I don't think any of us could stop laughing the entire dinner.

So now you know my funny fat stories.  It was great having my sister here.  I loved seeing her and cute kids, and Craig too.  Owen loved having his cousins around.  And we got to go see some more the the Great Northwest, that we probably would not have seen otherwise.  SO thanks for coming guys!!!
