My family nickname
My family calls me "Jackson" because I'm so habitually late and tardy I usually call an hour after the party's started to tell them I'm on my way. (I'm one of only two kids of 10 that live out of town)

I call them from the halfway point so they only have an hour to wait before we show up. Guess where it is?

"Hello, Mom? Hey, we're in Jackson!"

Proving the point is the fact we were supposed to leave an hour ago and I'm still in my bathrobe and haven't started even packing yet.

I must say, that is poor form. Naughty TDub.

Guess what?
Everyone else was in an accident* so I was the first one there! Go me!


*No one was hurt-it was a road rage thing where people got out of the car and screamed at each other. But the police got called. The perpetrator's comment where my bro called 911? (999) "I ain't afraid o' no po-po!" ("The constabulary do not frighten me.")

I have an aunt who's perpetually late
we solved the problem by giving her a time one hour earlier than everyone else. So now she's first there, every time!

Have a click for "I ain't afraid o' no po-po!" and the beautifully understated translation. Classic.
