superlative comedy
- My mom’s version of ‘Natural Selection.’
.
Growing up, my sister and I would have to repeat these three qualities back to my mom. Later, I realized what she really meant: we should be looking for viable mates who have no madness/alcoholism in the family, no visible tattoos and a trust fund.
.
Do these people actually exist? I’ve found that all the most interesting people have some tragic flaw like a sleeve tattoo or an insane aunt locked in the attic.
.
Here, dancing at my sister’s wedding, mom seems pleased with my sister’s choice. We didn’t have the heart to tell her that he’s missing two out of three.
