Day after Thanksgiving.....

Thanksgiving Day..........

18 people floating all over the house on Thanksgiving. Total hairdos about......18. Long blond haired Steve....one dyed black haired Steve....one with ratty long dirty blonde/brown hair - and my last Steve has dreds. Then the cousins....One cousin Steve with spikes and a green tooth style ear ring. Yeah....there were a couple of normal kids.....but I didn't talk to them. Why bother....the normal kids listen to Wham.

As with any other Turkey Day dinner there were two or three turkeys and some potatoes, beans, rolls and lots of pies. How many #$%!! pies do ya need at a dinner? Nobody got drunk...except Uncle Andrew. He's 10....but he can hold his liquor...so we let him drive home anyway.

There's always the one relative that brings the green jello with the carrot topping. She showed up late with the bowl covered in that clingy plastic wrap, as if you have to protect that mixture. They'll be looking for her body for a loooong time.

After dinner we all sat around and talked about people that weren't there....anybody that couldn't defend themselves.....and then moved on to other lighter subjects like religion and politics just to offend anybody we left out. A good time was had by.....me.

Today most of the people had the day off.....I had to work. No big deal. They'll pay for it later...they just don't know when or where.

All and all it was a very good Thanksgiving. Good food.....good family time.....and one drunk 10 year old. Next year will be just as good.....and I'm bringing the green jello with the carrots. My house....my rules.

Fun fact of the day: On the first Thanksgiving they didn't have to stuff the turkeys....because they weren't hollow. It's true...look it up.

That's very funny stuff Grant! I showed Andrew what you wrote and he said, "He's gone too far!" No lie, I told him to relax. I told him you were just joking. Thanks for spiffing up the story.
