It’s Obviously Thanksgiving
For those of you strapped to your computers, stranded out of town, lacking a family, or could use a break from your family or are just bored to tears as the men watch football-here is your rest. Land here on this page, brew some tea, grab a fuzzy blanket and let me tell you a little story that most of you may not know.
It’s a story about a normal girl (me) that came from a not-so-normal family. They tried their best to make me not-so-normal, too. But they did not succeed. I am the only normal one left.
Here’s proof as to what I am talking about. I was diligently setting up my camera for our annual lame Thanksgiving photo op. Diligently asking myself, do I use flash or will that be too harsh? Will dad squint his eyes? Will Biceps ham it up?
Yes, on all accounts. This photo stinks. Let’s try again.
Biceps receives a positive reaction from the crowd. This only encourages him, folks. Let’s try it again.
Dad thinks we need to move whatever this was. I am loosing them. Let’s try it again.
Now is the time for baby brother and Biceps to have a conversation. Now, right now. What is so important? “Which was better, Duck Hunt or Spy Hunter?”. Yes, very important.
And, so once more we try.
Ah, getting there. I even made it into the photo before the self-timer went off. But, bleck. I am shadowing Biceps terribly. Try again.
But, this seems so boring. So, not us. Forget it, I give up. I am just as weird as the rest of my family. I will admit it! I too am not-so-normal. Let’s just have fun, instead.
I didn’t stand a chance in my normal world.
And so this is where my story ends. I tried, really tried hard to be normal. But, like so many things in life-the sins of the father….
Happy Thanksgiving. From my weird family to yours.
love these.
Tell you parents hello.
Love it! Happy holidays to you all. Say HI to the fam. Hugs! xoxo
I will do! Happy thanksgiving, my dear!
