So, my mother waited until late in the afternoon to call to wish me a happy birthday, making me speculate on whether she was truly becoming senile, as we teased her about a lot over the holidays.
My brother called me around mid-day, to give me his new cell number, and allegedly has halfway decent excuses for not remembering. Work Schwork. Moving Schmoving.
But he called a few minutes ago. I jokingly asked if Michael had told him - I'd heard Michael's yahoo messenger dinging upstairs so I figured they'd been talking too (I was talking to The Brother on my computer downstairs before he called). He said that he'd just looked on his calendar and remembered what day it was. I proceeded to tell him that I had a funny blog entry in mind, but he and my mother had ruined it by remembering. And he said "No, your family LOVES you!"
And I believed him.
Until I went upstairs and saw the messages on Michael's messenger. Liar, liar, pants on fire! Forgiveness shall be granted upon receipt of large paypal donations.
By the way, the following are synonyms for "liar":
cheat, con artist, con man, deceiver, deluder, dissimulator, equivocator, fabler, fabricator, fabulist, false witness, falsifier, fibber, jive turkey, maligner, misleader, perjurer, phony, prevaricator, promoter, storyteller, trickster
And below liar, it had a second entry, and some are just hilarious. The word is "rascal." bastard, beggar, black sheep, blackguard, bully, bum, cad, cardsharp, charlatan, cheat, delinquent, devil, disgrace, felon, fraud, good-for-nothing, grafter, hooligan, hypocrite, idler, imp, knave, liar, loafer, miscreant, mountebank, ne'er-do-well, opportunist, pretender, prodigal, profligate, rake, rapscallion, recreant, reprobate, robber, rogue, rowdy, ruffian, scalawag, scamp, scoundrel, shyster, sinner, skunk, sneak, swindler, tough, tramp, trickster, varmint, villain, wastrel, wretch
He is SUCH a rapscallion. And a scalawag. And do NOT forget, montebank. And meanie-pants-liar-boy.
This was almost as fun as the "my mean family forgot my birthday" entry I had all prepared!

you will notice on those messages, he never did tell me it was your birthday. i did indeed look at a calendar, while trying to see when HIS birthday was, and realized it was your's...
and your family indeed loves you.
and tell him he is in trouble.
you are sooooo busted Larry - don't even try to talk your way out of it
