78 The broski is being extra nice Maybe baba's last outburst and our small kitchen chat made him reflect on all the other baba outbursts Aly and Cat are asleep (they probably arrived at 4am again) As I walked to the bathroom, I saw Baba had made breakfast for Hassan and himself. Baba looked over his shoulder, realized it was me then HMPHed and swiveled forward After brushing my teeth, I went to make my coffee (I know I shouldn't but it's a caffeine kinda morning) In the kitchen, Baba and Hassan were gathered around the kettle after having cleared up Hassan gave me a fist bump and Baba bristled I saw that one of our tupperware boxes was now filled with blackened bananas on the counter I pointed and asked, "Sabotage?" Baba snapped that it's theirs Oh, oh that's fine then I have to go leave a coffee mug grenade in the sink *whispers* sabotaaaage (Yes, I am snarky) I went to sit on the balcony with my mug (I've been making a point of taking up space after baba conflicts instead of isolating) Hassan chatted about the earthquake in Morocco and asked me when I want to swim or watch the show Baba kept grabbing his elbow to show him Facebook videos and I rolled my eyes internally Hassan mentioned there was a roach incident after I slept I told him there was one a few days ago and credited Baba for smushing it Hassan asked Baba where they come from Baba replied they come out from under the door because Sarah... then he remembered I was there and trailed off Sarah WHAT? I attract roaches now? I suppose I also caused the earthquake in Morocco More Baba hmph (I noticed our underwear on the line and sighed) Baba... (Ignores me) You want me to take the underwear in? (Shifts uncomfortably) "...our underwear not theirs?" ...why would it be theirs... "Of course we should take it in, it's very shameful to have underwear out *turns to Hassan* she doesn't know anything" Hassan says "My boxers are always drying on the line when you have guests over, dad" "This is different, son..." I interrupt, having gathered everything, do you want me to leave them on your drawer or what "I TAKE IN MY OWN THINGS" Hassan, "Oh those ones are mine, yeah on the drawer would be great, thanks Sarah" I leave and yell back THEY'LL BE ON THE DRAWER BABAAA ... He's being really weird, even for Baba Yes he's abusive and paranoid and a misogynist anyway But, the level up in irrationality is a bit concerning I think it may be that he's stressed about Aly and Cat himself Yeah, I think he realized he's made a mistake and is upset about bunking up And what's worse is that I warned him about it and that tante Z warned him about it So his ego is wounded and he's scrambling to make it about something else He's trying to blame me for it but I've been extra helpful and pleasant, so now he just looks like a crazy person And that hurts his ego more I guess, in a way I'm kind of glad because at least Hassan can see it now I think I'll head out to the beach before the happy couple wakes up |
