Now I know you all think I am wicked funny and good news is so do I... but I mostly think my comedy comes from situations that I find myself in and my ability to embrace the crazy. But my whole family is slightly off kilter making each one of us unique in our hilariousness. Let me tell you a little bit about my family and my reasoning for who is the funniest amongst us.
My mother has always been and will always be a woman in search of a fun. The question in my moms mind was never if something was good to do or smart to do but whether it would be fun to do. One Sunday afternoon my mom came home and hollered at us to hurry up and get in the van. She was excited and laughing so we knew it would be a good time. It had been raining earlier and there was a huge river of water in the street and she thought it was super fun to drive through the water and making a splash and hydroplaning the van. I think we did this three times until the water hurt the engine and we walked home laughing. Explains a lot doesn't it?
My two oldest siblings are funny in their own way, but less likely to sacrifice life or limb in an effort to create a comedic situation. My younger brother and I are in a tie... and I only say that to be kind to him because we all know I am funnier. Though Dave may not experience the crazy situations I find myself in, he is a lot like my mom willing to spend his life in search of a good time. Side note: Dave and I are twenty months apart and when we were young I would speak for him. The saddest day of my life is when Dave learned to speak for himself. I think he has made up for his not talking in spades, but that does not make him the funniest in the family.
The funniest person in our family is the baby of the family. It is like the funny trickled down slowly from not funny to the ultimate in comedy. When Lizzy is funny she is the funniest person I know. Sometimes I will call her up to tell her a story just because I know she will laugh and add hilarity to the situation. There is only one draw back and she doesn't like it when I say this but truth is truth. When Lizzy is funny there is no one, not even me, funnier... but... when Lizzy is in a not funny mood there is no one not even my oldest brother who is more unfunny then she. This is why when I call Lizzy and I want a laugh I ask her if she is funny today. Here are the two responses I get, 'what do you mean funny?' this is code for I am not funny and now you are in trouble for asking or 'hehehe' which is code for I am uber funny bring it on. If Lizzy calls me up with a funny story, I drop everything to hear this story. Once she called me while I was driving in the mountains, I pulled over before I lost cell phone coverage because when she is in full comedy swing I want to be on that train. So there is the answer to the controversial question in my family. It is documented for future generations and the next time my mom says your blogs are funny, but I am funnier. My answer will be maybe, but your still not as funny as Lizzy.
