I have a dilemma. It's Easter weekend, traditionally a family time. But I just saw my family five days ago. But it's Easter. But I was home for over a week. But it's Easter. Really the only family holiday we get to spend together is Christmas, since my parents always go to New Brunswick for Thanksgiving and I can't ever get time off in the fall. Also, there's a Leafs game on Saturday afternoon - it's always more fun to watch it with other Leafs fans.

I find it quite humourous that English Breakfast tea is described as 'a blend of Kenyan and Indian teas, producing a full-bodied English brew' You make something English by putting together stuff from other countries?

Go home. Even if it's just for Easter dinner. You only get one family, and it's frustratingly hard to sell them to roving bands of Gypsies, so you might as well spend time with them.

Yeah, I've tried to sell them off before and it never works. Nobody wants damaged goods ;)

I always tell my little sister that we're going to give her back to the Gypsies and try to get our goat back from them because we got screwed over in the deal.

I always wanted a big brother when I was little - guess I'm lucky I didn't have one. Big sisters are mean enough! (no offence to my darling sister, of course)

How I love that picture :)
So...do I come home or not?? Will you watch the Leafs game with me? And did you have fun last night??

We had fun, until we lost.

You should probably come home, keeping in mind that: it may be the last time to see dad before he goes to NB, you will no doubt have to go to church, and our mother will try to fill you with unhealthy foods.

Yeah, I was thinking about the dad situation - mum said he's thinking of staying in New Brunswick all summer, and so it'd be the last time I see him until the end of August.
I was figuring on the church thing, and that's ok. I don't mind that much. As for the unhealthy foods, yes, I'm preparing myself for that. Plus, maybe I could have dinner on Saturday at your place (if that's ok with you) and that would reduce the risk of bad food. (our parents are going to the Forrests')
