My Thanksgiving
|
11/28/2002 |
Everyone was busy making food and I was playing a
video game. Whenever I would go in the kitchen my mom would be
turning around and run into me and blame me for being in the way. My
mom, dad, and sister kept telling me that if I'm going to come in
the kitchen I have to go fast, but that's a little hard with people
running into me. One time I was putting something in the trash and
my dad was on one side of me and my mom was on the other. My mom had
to go where I was and she said, "Excuse me," in a really urgent
voice, and my dad said for me to move right when my mom says to, and
I said that he was in the way on the other side so I couldn't, and
he said not to make responses back, and I said, "But I couldn't
move, it wasn't my fault," and he said, "You just said another
response." Well, I needed to get a shower, but I didn't have any
clothes to change into since I'm slacking in running my laundry, so
I put my stuff in the washer and sat around waiting for it to finish
so I could dry them and then take a shower and put them on. Well, my
parents couldn't wait for that, so I wore my dad's pants and shirt,
lol.
Thanksgiving was at Bro. Jim and Sis. Judy's house, of course.
There were 2 tables with the kitchen between them. I sat at the one
with Nick and Amy, and the little kids joined us, of course. Sis.
Judy told everyone that if they want Kool-Aid® to turn their glass
upside-down, if you want tea, put your spoon in your glass, and for
anything else just leave it how it is. Well, the glasses had ice in
them so I wasn't sure how I was supposed to turn it over, but I
planned on turning it upside-down and putting my spoon in it, but I
didn't on account of the ice. Yucky ice in drinks, I dumped it in
the sink. My dad and Kelli are probably the only people I've met who
share my dislike for ice in drinks. The food was good, but I put too
much Italian dressing on my salad since I didn't know that it was
stronger than the kind we have at home. Anyway, after the meal I
joined the kids in the garage where they have carpet and the Super
Nintendo was in there, too. It's been so long since I've seen one of
those. Some kids were playing "Aladdin" on it, and then Donovan
started playing this football game with Nick. I guess when Donovan
would babysit Nick and his brothers he would bring it over and they
would play it all the time, and they hadn't played it in the longest
time. It's a pretty cheesy game, but it's funny.
For dessert I had pican pie and ice cream. Then Donovan had to do
something for his grandpa at the trailer park so he brought Nick and
me and we took Bro. Jim's truck that is basically like Frankenstein's
monster since it has parts from other trucks on it and it has like 5
different colors on it. We had to get some trash cans of lawn debris
and put them in the dumpster. When we were leaving, Nick asked if he
could spend the night and see "Signs" with my sister and me tomorrow.
He got to spend the night. I went with Nick's family to his house so
he could get his stuff, and I noticed the couch in their family room
was gone and so was their kitchen table, and their big TV. I found
out that their dad took that stuff when he moved out. He also
stopped paying for the internet, and the phone for that matter, so
they don't have a phone right now. Nick's brother, Cory, had this
sign he made saying, "No more Thanksgiving" since he's protesting it
because it's celebrating our taking over of the Native
Americans. Well, that's about it. Later. |
