This is a post I wrote a while ago, Sadly, since then, George Herbert Walker Bush actually has passed away. But it was a long four years AFTER this conversation. Which I am sure makes many people shudder in horror that this became a running joke, yet sick joke, between the two of us. I wish I could say that the best part of this is my writing, but say, my sister always one-ups me, so this is dedicated completely to her. If you know us, you already know she is way funnier!

So, my sister and I haven’t always gotten along. And there are plenty of times that we still disagree. But growing up in a crazy family, you have to stick together. One of the best ways to make it through it all was to make fun of things; lots of things. People say I am funny, but my sister beats me on that front hands down. Here is a perfect example of one of the many reasons I love her to death!
I log onto Facebook and see her status:

I was a bit perplexed cause I wasn’t entirely sure what she is referring to, but I let it pass. We are chatting together about another topic, until she brings the conversation around to her status.

Sis: Do you know what my FB status is about?
Me: I’m not sure
Sis: You were my only hope obileilan kanobi
Me: George Herbert Walker Bush??
Sis: LOL, yes, George Herbert Walker Bush looks like death, quite literally
Me: He is getting old, that’s all
Sis: IDK They showed him on the news tonight and I was like Whoa
Me: LOL … He is 88 and in the hospital with Bronchitis lol
Sis: Well I don’t know when the pic was taken but he looked like crap
Me: You are so silly
Sis: I’m just saying, he’s probably gonna die soon
Me: Actually, this article says he is recovering well and will be released soon
Sis: Well of course they are going to say that – they can’t ruin Christmas!
Me: LOL
Sis: He’s looking a little Weekend at Bernie’s here in June
But they fattened him up just a few months later

She never ceases to amaze me and always knows how to make me smile. I’m lucky to have her in my life. Get well soon, G.H.W. Bush! You are a sweet man, just not the best politician 😉
