King la Familia...

I am drained. My parents and my aunt(mom's best friend) all showed up on Friday night. They got here sooner then expected and I was in Target buying comforters and towels and what not. Well my sister had met them and guided them to my house(aka The Palace) and they began calling me but my phone had lost it's signal and they ended up sitting outside in the car far longer than my mom wanted to. Granted anything more than 2 minutes would've been too long for her so when I finally showed up I didn't get the greeting that I had envisioned. No big hugs. No kisses. All I got was "Why can't you answer your phone?!" and "Boy, do you know how long we've been out here?!" oh and this gem from my dad, "I've been stuck in this car with your angry mother and her best friend! You are a bad son!" He's hilarious by the way. You guys would love him but I digress.

So we sat up for awhile on Friday night and laughed and joked and discussed exactly what I needed to do with my life. Talk about BIG FUN, that's how I love to spend my Friday nights! They asked about my job which led to this exchange between The Original King and the Queen Mother and myself

Mother: So how's work?

King: It's work.

Mother: They aren't wearing you out are they?

King: *smirk* Nah I usually just sit there and play with my blog.

Mother: Play with your what?! Oh my goodness! You better get your son!

Pop: Boy is that anyway to talk to your mother?

It took me another 15 minutes to convince them that "blog" isn't a slang word for my penis. Good times.

Saturday
I sleep late on Saturdays. I mean late like, the sun is about to go down I need to get up, late. But not with the folks in town. Oh no. They were wide open around 5:30 a.m. Now if I was visiting someone else and wanted to get up that early I would be quiet. Not my doting parents. So there I am walking around like a zombie at 6:30 on a freaking Saturday!!! I finally get dressed. My sister shows up and we go get on the metro to go downtown to see these freaking Cherry Blossoms that decided not bloom or at least not fully bloom. The metro was cool because they had never rode it and they were like little kids. That was fun. Walking all around D.C. wasn't. We had to go see The Monument, and The Lincoln Memorial, which by the way turned out to be pretty cool.

I buy my parents lunch from Quiznos and we get home and I take that nap I'd been thinking about all day. I woke up to my dad over me shaking his head in disgust. Later my sister and her boyfriend show up and him and I have a semi heated discussion about whether Michael Jordan was a ball hog or not. He actually compared MJ to one Kobe Bean Bryant! That reminds me to email my sister and tell her to BREAK UP WITH THAT IDIOT BEFORE THEY FIND HIM FLOATING FACE DOWN IN THE POTOMAC!!! MJ and Kobe?! Pshh! Ok he's not that bad and when we went out to the japanese steakhouse he actually asked my dad for my sister's hand in marriage. At least he's a Redskins fan.

Anyway the weekend was pretty cool despite all my whining and complaining. I like hanging with my parents, they are funny and sarcastic just like me. Now that they are gone I miss them. I think I'll go home to visit them in a few weeks. After that expect a post about how I will be moving back home because of how much I love it. Of course this will probably never happen until I retire but I still like to say it to make myself feel better.

So in closing....I MISS YOU MOM AND DAD! and congratulations to you T. If he doesn't make you happy I'll tie him down and show him continuos loops of Michael Jordan's best games!!

P.S. For Your Viewing Pleasure


Yeah that's The King still half asleep standing in front of a very historical place. That water seems a lot cleaner on TV. In person it's pretty gross. I was down there and everybody kept talking about that being the place where MLK gave his famous "I Have A Dream" speech and I kept thinking about Forrest Gump and Jenny running out and meeting each other in that vietnam protest scene. Pitiful? Yeah I know.


I got pictures from 5 different cameras developed yesterday and since this has turned into a family post I decided to post this picture of my oldest sister and myself. It was taken this past August. I like it because my smile is just plain scrumptous.



Ok that's all. Hopefully I won't hear anything about me not posting more pictures of myself from you you know who and for not talking more about my personal life from my Executive Producer. Happy ladies?! Good. Have a great Monday everybody!

This has been a Ddot the King Production "If ever I write, I need the space to say whatever I like!"
