Reply #16: My relatives split between righties and lefties [View All]

[JackSwift]

and we all actually like each other more than politics, so we do have fun. But the lefties are divided among traditional Dems and the communists now calling themselves "Greens". I love to yank all their chains, but the Greenies are especially fun. One of them is 55 and has an identical twin brother (my own brother is another). I get the name wrong, lean in and say snidely "sorry, I can't tell the difference." The Greenies hate, hate, hate any variation of "can't tell the difference".

Me: "Can I get you any food or drink while I'm up?"

Green: "Yeah, get me..."

Me: "It doesn't matter what, none of us can tell the difference."

Green: "I'm not contributing to your next campaign!"

Me: "That'll give me many a sleepless night."
