Gift for Mark? Yes, I am very easily amused.

This weekend was full of kids, for me and Mark. My sister and her family drove up from sunny Irvine for a New Year's visit, and also to complete the sale on their house in the East Bay. Kaitlin spent the night with my niece; it's always fascinating to watch them play together. I let them play with a game of Guess Who? and it took a bit of time for them to get the concept. I don't know if Guess Who? has been updated since 1953 or whatever, but would it kill them to have put more than 5 women in the board game? As soon as you ask "Is it a boy?" the game's three quarters over if you have a female card.
I am always in awe whenever Kaitlin plays mahjong. She plays like someone who's been at it for fifteen years, not like someone who's only nine years old. And she's always beating people who are at least twenty years older than her. I think she plays better than my dad.
Kaitlin and her parents are moving into my parents' house next month. This should be interesting. Well, at least Kaitlin will have more room to play. Her living space right now is really cramped.
I played with the twins, too. They're getting so big. I'm always really sad about the way kids grow up so fast. I feel like I never get enough time to watch them actually grow up. The girl argued with me when I took her to go potty, too, saying she didn't have to wash her hands after she wiped her "butt-butt". Troublemaker. Well, she has to when I'm around.
Mark's 12 year old cousin came up to visit him and his sister, and they took her to the zoo. That girl's got a serious smart mouth on her, and apparently she got the Arab yelling gene as well, which is a lethal combination. Friends of mine know how loud Mark can be, but what they don't know is that he's considered the "quiet one" in the family. Yesterday we went to Golden Gate park and walked around the botanical gardens, which was pretty nice.
The cousin and Mark's sister had a conversation about people they knew who were gay or bisexual; apparently they knew someone who was only "fifteen and already knew she was bi!" "How does she *know*?" They kept asking. I bit my tongue, because I don't think I was supposed to be listening, but I really wanted to chime in with "Well, how do you know you're straight?"
