I go to my home town to visit my family for the holidays. Originally, I did not want to go and instead wanted to see my sister for Thanksgiving. My wife wanted to go home so we did. I ended up eating turkey dinner alone (without my daughter and wife) with my 'worldly' family. Well, it is official, my wife is a j-dub.
We go to my wife's uncle's house the following Friday. He's 'worldly' and celebrated thanksgiving but my in-laws cannot see him on Thursday. Fair compromise I guess. Now, my wife's aunt arrives, she is a witness on disability married to a witness on disability so neither work and can go out in field service all to their hearts are content.
I talk to the aunt, she is kind of a trip in a way, we discuss turkey dinners.
Aunt: "Did you buy a turkey Gary?"
Me: "No, I ate with my family."
Aunt: "You should've gotten a turkey. They are 14 cents a pound."
Me: "Did you get one?"
Aunt: "I got two!"
Me: "Did you eat some yesterday (thanksgiving)?"
Aunt: "Nah, Nah, we are not suppose to do that."
Me: "Why buy the turkey then?"
Aunt: "Gary, can you only eat turkey on one day of the year?"
Me: "No, so when are you planning to eat it?"
Aunt: "I dunno, maybe in a year."
Me: "A year?! Do you have a freezer?"
Aunt: "YEAH, YEAH, as big as that fridge right there!"
Me: "Okay, okay..." At this point, no point in going back and forth with a diehard dub. The husband comes by.
Uncle: "Gary, Gary, when you gonna let me get that truck of yours."
Me: "Tell you what, invite me over for turkey dinner and we'll talk."
We laugh but I can see where that will go. NO WHERE!
