I can seem a bit prickly at times, but it is usually with the intention of being funny. Yes, my jokes are deadpan and understated. If you don't know me, you might have to hit the mental rewind a few times to get my jokes.
But my whole family is like that.
For instance, my sister recently made light of my grandmother's memory loss when discussing what to buy her for her birthday.
Me: "New clothes perhaps?"
Her, straight-faced and serious: "Well, we probably wouldn't have to buy her anything. We could just take the nicer clothes from her closet, wrap those and give them to her."
My mom: "That's true. And she would never know."
Don't worry. We were joking. Although from an outsider's point of view you wouldn't be able to tell, unless you knew us.
What is life, if you can't make fun? Even at the worst of times.
We would never give my grandmother her own clothes as a gift.
