Meet the Family - Part 3: David

Update in yellow

Here we are, back on track with the next in that Emmy winning series, "Meet the Family!" That is different from what I typed the first time, "Meat the Family." I'm not so sure I want to know the Meat Family, unless they are giving me a nice medium-rare filet or something like that... Anyway, today we meet David, who for many years was the youngest in the whole Rosenberg Clan but has now passed that honor on to Sophie. But warning to David - you're still stuck with the Four Questions. Ha Ha!

David is one of two members of the family who has never been on a cruise. I think we can all guess the other one. Yes, of course it's Sarah. Actually, come January, David will be the only one. Steve and Sophie are finally taking Sarah on her first cruise. When asked what he's most looking forward to about the vacation, he told me is the "general sense of relaxation that will (hopefully) come with the surroundings." Apparently, David is delusional. While I think we can all agree that cruises can be very relaxing, I have a feeling this one might not be... He also told me that he wants to see who will be driven to commit murder first. He thought it would be Sophie. Hmmm, I don't think he'll see who commits murder first, but only because he'll be the victim.

David also has rather lofty ideas for his dream vacation. He'd like to go on a tour of Europe. It seems that "chillin' at the Parthenon" would be a fun thing for him to do, as would seeing Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. In David's world, money really does grow on trees. He also expressed a desire to do another Disney vacation like that Christmas trip in 2001. He doesn't like visiting nowadays because "we've gone over there and not even so much as gotten a glimpse of the parks." Well, duh, David. We haven't been there to go to the parks, instead we are spending quality time with our loved ones. David obviously doesn't love his family.

David claims he has been to 17 states, but his list is all messed up. He hasn't included states I know he's been to, and he included states I'm pretty certain that he's never been to. Tennessee, really? I highly doubt that one... I think he's been to: Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Florida, Georgia (airport), Texas (airport), New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota (airport), and possibly Michigan (airport) and Virginia (maybe he crossed the river from DC?). Part of the problem with his list is that he gave me the 2 letter abbreviations and he doesn't really get them right, for instance, I'm certain he's never been to Nebraska, and yet according to him, he has. I also question when he's been to Vermont, though I suppose it's possible. But the important thing about this list is that I still beat him. Go me.

David didn't really have anything else exciting to add to this. He did say that he will be less annoying than usual, so that's a plus. And David, I have that in writing, so if you break your word, I either (depending on where we are) toss you off the train, throw you over the side of the ship, or feed you to a bear. David did graduate high school last June, that was exciting for all. He also recently got a job, go him. And he totaled his car. Oops. Let's hope car #2 fares better. He's in college now, studying physics or something like that. Ask him about his field trip to the particle accelerator. Then while he talks, pretend to listen and look interested while you secretly make a To Do list in your head. It worked for me.

Edited to add: David is also cute and single (if you're into 19 year old college boys)

Ooh, next we move on the S portion of the family. We'll all have the opportunity to meet (not meat) Sarah in the coming days. I'm pretty sure we've all met her already, but just in case we have a loyal reader out there who doesn't actually know us...
