A relative of mine, who has always been relatively annoying, texted me multiple photos yesterday, telling me this is the type thing she sees on the rare times she checks in on Facebook.
An Orca having fun in Washington's Hood Canal.
I texted back to the relatively annoying relative saying I would be blogging this tomorrow, and claim it was something I saw in Lake Wichita, thus confusing the locals.
To which my relatively annoying relative replied that these were not my photos to share.
Wait? What?
Did not this relatively annoying relative just say she saw these Hood Canal Orca photos on Facebook?
And shared them with me.
Would not the normal person response be something along the line of "Have fun with it". Or "You really think a local will think Orcas were somehow in a Texas lake?"
I have long had a policy of avoiding contact with relatively annoying relatives. This rare breech in that policy reminds me of why I have that particular policy.
Years ago, a cousin of mine opined to me that in our family most are extremely bright, while there are others in the family who were severely struck with what this relative called "The Dumb Stick".
It really is best to avoid my relatives who were struck with the dumb stick. No good comes from contact...
