My sister Marina can be quite the character! She can make you laugh without even trying. So we signed up for the Great American Weight Loss challenge....Like that's something I need right? I know how to lose weight, I just can't do it. I don't need some skinny chick who has never been fat a day in her life to tell me how to eat. Whatever. Ok back to the story. We were at Jenny Craig and all we had was a check to pay for our sign up fee. Mom didn't want to go to the bank for 15.00, so asked if there was anyway we could pay with a check. The lady behind the counter said if we wrote it in her name then she would pay the cash. That's when Marina leans over and says:
Marina: Are we in Jenny Craig
Me: Ya...
Marina: That's so cool, I didn't think I would be able to meet her
Me: Wait, what? did you ask if we were in Jenny Craig or if she is Jenny Craig
Marina: I asked if that is Jenny Craig
Insert me giving Marina the 'oh you poor thing' look
Me: No hunny, Jenny Craig isn't a real person....its like Betty Crocker, its just a brand name
Marina looks at me with big soulful eyes.
Marina: What do you mean Betty Crocker's not real?
You would have thought I told her her dog ran away, or Santa wasn't coming.
And of course me being who I am, instead of saying some comforting big sister word, I laughed my head off and proceeded to tell everyone who would listen about Marinas misguided assumptions. It was classic!
