One of my sisters recently asked me why I call and tell on myself when I do something clumsy or embarrassing. Well if you know my family you know the way we show love is by laughing....at each other. That's right, you say something wrong, you trip, you fall, you stumble over your words or embarrass yourself and we are all over it! It is truly how we show love. We make fun of you translates to we love you. We don't bother to poke at you even a little translates to not really worth the time. I love my family for this! All seven of us have our father's humor. For some it is stronger than others but we all have it. When we get together let the magic begin! Something happens when another sibling isn't there we are on the phone or sending a text within minutes.
So when my sister asked why I rat myself out my answer was simple. If I rat myself out I can control the embarrassment and who knows. I can take the joy away from my other siblings and win the round even though I am the one who looked like the idiot. That is the way to survive my family and our sick sense of humor. I love ever bit of it and wouldn't change it for the world!
