After a discussion about Trent's clandestine Facebook page (the one that claims he is 22):

Sabrina: "Why are all the men in my life crazy?"

Michael: "They're not all crazy. Some of them are boring. You have two choices: they can either be crazy or boring---because they're all going to be stupid."

Shocked, hysterical laughter...

So, when Michael breaks the news last night, we're all at the table, Michael is holding back a smile quite successfully, Trent sudden;y looks terrified, and I collapse into uncontrollable laughter, gasping out, "Oh my god, your mom is going to KILL YOU!"

Many minutes later, he is looking confused and terrified, Michael is grinning like mad, and I'm croaking out, in between outbursts, "So what do we tell [his mom]? That he has this Facebook page or something more strategic?"

Trent quickly says, "I would prefer something more strategic".

And now both of us---Michael and I---are losing it and I can't help but choke out, "You friended your AUNT? Did you think she wasn't going to tell your dad?"

Poor Trent didn't know what to do. He just stood there, paralyzed, with a terrified grin, while I laughed hysterically and his dad choked out, "You're really scared of your mom, aren't you?"

He just barely nodded.

We really don't have to do anything, thank god. Just step back and stay out of of the bloodbath, and eventually collect whatever's left.

Living with Trent is eerily like living with my little brother when I was a kid. My brother is 8 1/2 years younger than me, so it's easy to fall right into that dynamic whenever something odd happens.

My grandmother used to ask me to "talk to your sister", who is 8-1/2 years younger than I am, and I'd be as clueless as she was because I never thought to do the things my sister did. I was too busy trying to be "the grownup" in the house, in addition to going to school.

But that's pretty impressive...O.o
