Sister act!

I know when my brother in law is annoyed with my sister and/or me. He comes to pick us up from a girls' night out. She in the passenger seat, me in the back. I know he's annoyed because we're not in before he pulls off! We start to giggle like school girls and he is growling. My sister then gets annoyed with him and we all tense up. he is ignoring us and playing his music a bit too loud... annoying if its the songs you don't like. My sister starts to give him driving instructions(she herself doesn't drive) He starts to foam at the mouth. Dare i say I'm cold in the back seat with the window open on his side. I decide to keep quiet, in my skimpy outfit, In the middle of winter. My sister has now resorted to sounds! You know, the sounds my mother made when she was annoyed with my father. My mother also gave my father driving instructions (and she didn't drive either) He pulled over and asked her to get out and take the bus. My mother, being the proud woman that she is, elegantly got out, walked across to the bus stop and my father gingerly drove off and left her and i was shocked! This was so out of character for my father. I think my sister should be careful, there aren't any buses in the area.

I daresay this scene will be repeated many times until my brother in law tells us to take a taxi. In the meantime, i will take a coat with me and enough taxi fare to cover all eventualities. As for my sister, driving lessons resumed!!!
Actually we form a nice little trio.. me, always hanging around, single, not homeless but practically living with them. I ring the doorbell and my B.I.L answers, opens the door and says "Oh! its you!" of course its me, what do you think! My sister, always the long suffering niceness itself admonishes him. Even i am beginning to think I'm overdoing their sisterliness. but whats a girl to do if my sister lives so near and we get on so well. My brother in law forgets that he's not too keen on me today and starts nattering away and is cooking a "special" meal for me. All is good again and I've recovered from the "Oh its you!" brutality! Until next time reader. I hear you ask, what's this got to do with spirituality! Well I'll tell you what!
1) I'm avoiding the subject obviously
2) I love my sister! ha!
3) I'm fed up of my own company! he!
4) I'm avoiding 'it', me
5) I'm running away from me, it, us
6) I'm hiding from 'it', me
7) 1, 4, 5, 6 are the correct answers. Note that this is what i write when I'm avoiding me!
