We're not going to see ANYONE this year because of the following crazies in my family:
1. My Aunt who last thanksgiving decided that she was leaving her husband and 10 year old child for a trucker she met in a Slingo chat room in AOL.
2. My other aunt who served "turkey roll" 2 years ago, along with oyster stuffing and other disgustingness. Though this turkey roll was topped by the bat that swooped into the house and disrupted everything.
3. My cousins who deliberately attempted to set things on fire at the kiddie table.
4. Other cousins who throw tantrums if they dont eat at specific times.
5. My uncle who almost came after my grandmother, his mother in law, with a potato masher yelling one year "DONT YOU THINK I KNOW HOW TO MASH POTATOES!"
6. Someone at that damn table who always spoons sweet potatoes onto my plate even though I voice every year that I dislike them.
7. My grandmother who has come into the room where people (not just the men) were watching football and abruptly switched off the tv saying "lets go into this room now".
the list goes on...these are but the highlights. we're having thanksgiving with just my immediate family, and bunkering down to weather the storm.
