Birthdays, Elvis, and a Hybrid

Over the weekend, FrogN and her family celebrated the 80th birthday of Rockin' Gramps (his birthday was much earlier in February, but it took three weeks to get everyone together at once). With his most recent of birthdays, he has officially made it possible for FrogN to state that her grandparents are in their "early eighties" instead of their "late seventies." Of course, as with all familial gatherings, there were some interesting conversations.

The original conversation began with FrogN's mother somehow coming to the conclusion that Home Alone does, in fact, provide irrefutable evidence that Elvis. Is. Alive. In the scene with the mother frantically trying to acquire plane tickets, there is a man standing behind her and to the right. FrogN's mother has decided that that man looks far too much like Elvis to be anyone other than the king himself. She said that she found it on some kind of youtube video. How she came across this video to begin with is beyond FrogN, but at least now FrogN knows what, if not whom, to blame.

Elvis led to the discussion of strange sightings, the look up of the nefarious video in question (which can be found by searching for Home Alone and Elvis courtesy of youtube, should anyone be interested), and the eventual age-old story of "the cat-rabbit."

"It had the face of a cat, and the legs of a rabbit!" voiced FrogN's aunt. "Sitting right there on the side of the road!" continued FrogN's mother.

FrogN loves her family dearly; she also loves that she is not alone in her eccentric-isms.
