so we are starting our family "kitty party" again. which basically means, every family will be hosting dinner for the other 8-9 families by turns every month. we've had this system in our family for a while now. a nice way of keeping up with everyone!

anyway...

so what happened was, this sister in law of mine, a cousin's wife, messaged everyone on facebook, telling us about our plans for the 15th august weekend...how ALL of us would go somewhere for a night. 40 odd family members, 4 generations at that... and let me tell you, the older ones are probably younger at heart than any of us! heh

so anyway, she messaged everyone, telling them about the plan for that one night. now, this uber witty brother in law of mine, another cousin's husband, replied, in usual style, saying, 

• "one night stand ... umm .. sounds good 
• also.. let's name this family kitty (cat) ... how about Isabella ?"

now this, while OFCOURSE being open to becoming a butt of some royal jokes, could've gone unnoticed. yes, it could have, facebook savvy as my family is. but then, my brother in law panicked. he called me up, and was like, "HOW DO YOU DELETE THIS FUCKING THING! I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS A CHAIN MESSAGE! tumhare ghar wale kya sochenge, kaisa damaad hai!"

and i go like," ächa hai! main to hope kar rai thi ki koi notice karega! har kisi ko meri profile par har jagah discussion karna bada acha lagta hai! i was laughing to myself about how awesome it would be at the next "isabella party" and YOU would be the new bakra! "

at that time we decided that it was best to forget about it.. he seemed calm enough, just a tad worried about the lecture he was bound to receive from his wife!

BUT THEN, he had to go back to the chain, and post an apology. i TOLD him that it would make his reply more noticeable than anything else. and thats what happened.

at this particular moment, he and this cousin of mine (the aforementioned sister in law's husband) are engrossed, VERY engrossed in a very public duel of words. sarcastic puns to and fro.

ah. my family. how i love it. never a dull moment. the next time we'll meet, 2 shots, a few glasses of scotch, some funny taunts, a few laughs..and end of the story. :)
