a thanksgiving
there are many things i could talk about this thanksgiving season; i could talk about the piles of food, the football games, the home improvement projects, the missouri countryside, the family squabbles, the rock throwing contests, the tenuous family photo sessions or perhaps even the early morning best buy runs, but i feel that the topic worth discussing this post-thanksgiving season is the childress family sleeping arrangements. oh, the joy of still being considered a youngster, still young enough to be lumped in with the "kids," thrust into a single large room with your six fellow cousins and forced to coexist with relative harmony. oh, the loveliness of snoring and dog hair, the comfort of a carpeted floor with cement a mere inch below. the wonder of waking up to your army major uncle bellowing "wake up, there's a lot of work to be done today!" the sheer ectstacy of sleeping with blankets over your face to drown out the late-night episodes of star trek voyager and reruns of csi: miami.
oh, how i look forward to these experiences.
but then,
what are family gatherings for?
man, i love these things.
