My Family

So here we are in Las Vegas for a few days visiting family. On Monday, the hubby and I decide to take the boys out to shop and get lunch. As we are attempting to get on the freeway and missing the on ramp we decide before we go anywhere we need Diet Coke, logical right? It's while we are in the drive-thru that a typical family conversation occurs. 

Me: (reading billboard) Tourists bring in 45 billion in cash to Las Vegas. 

Hubby: really? 

Me: that's what the billboard says. I think that's what I'm going to do, open a casino in the living room. You won't mind will you? I'm sure the Feds won't either as long as I pay my taxes. 

Hubby: the local authorities might. Well I guess you can bribe them. 

Me: so this is our plan, we'll start with roulette and craps. 

#1 son: and Russian Roulette, you gotta have that. 

Me: no thanks, I'd run out of places to hide the bodies. 

#2 son: no mom, you're missing another income opportunity, organ harvesting. 

Hubby: yeah, think of the money to be made, it doesn't have to be a good kidney, just a kidney. 

#1 son: then you've got, hearts, lungs, livers, corneas and I'm sure someone will take the rest off your hands, this is a win/win. 

Me: how did I go from hypothetically running an illegal gambling den to harvesting body parts? 

Hubby: we're just trying to help you realize your full potential. 

This people is why I love my family.
