This’ll be brief, since my mom, sister, and three darling nieces are currently visiting from Oregon.

Tonight round the dinner table the adults howled with laughter collab-ing on the fun #threefictionalcharacters thing that’s trending on social media. One selects three fictional characters who most closely mirror their personality. It’s harder than it sounds.

Behold…

My much older sister: Dory, Deb from Napoleon Dynamite, & Ally Sheedy’s character in The Breakfast club

Mi madre: Glenda the Good Witch, Barbie from Toy Story, & Kevin Macallister’s mom in Home Alone

Handsome Husband: Jason Bourne, the grumpy old man from Up, & Dexter the mad scientist brainiac

Firstborn: Dr. Dolittle, Hermione Granger, & Merida

Center Sister: Madison from Splash, Kirsten Dunst’s Marie Antoinette, & Tinkerbell

Yours Truly: Monica Geller, Molly Weasley, Cheri Oteri’s Spartan cheerleader

Honorable mention Lucy van Pelt for mom, firstborn, and m’self.
