The Funny Family
The Soveran’s are funny people. There are people who believe that my mom is funny. I am generally not one of those people. However, I can admit that my mom can hold an audience and has a good public persona. My dad, for those who know him well, is funny in the most painful ways. I think light torture is his brand of humor. And I am, of course, a natural comedic talent. But there has always been the question of when Emily, my younger sister, was going to become funny.
Her whole life Emily has never been funny. Sure, she tries. She’s tough and sarcastic. But not really funny. But I think she has finally matured into a funny Soveran. I am happy to announce that Emily made me laugh pretty hard today with this picture of my dad and the caption below it on Facebook:

Just a man and his grapes.
