the family

have you ever been in one those uncomfortable situations where you don't even say anything, but everyone's looking at you weird? this happened to me the last time i went to visit my family. we were all sitting around the livingroom, and i wasn't even saying anything, but they were all just looking at me so weird. this was my own family. the people who aren't supposed to look at me weird. well later that weekend, after they developed the pictures they had taken, i could see why their perception of me was a little skewed. in one of the photos, there i was, just completely devouring the neighbor's baby. i don't think they were looking at me weird because i was eating a baby, but because the look i had in my eye. i looked crazed, like i hadn't eaten meat in weeks. and in the photos, they're all just sitting there, being calm, eating babies.
