This is too
funny. Two adult men feeling (and looking) like two little boys with a good old-fashioned
momma scolding:
“I’m glad this was the year you went to your
in-laws for Thanksgiving.”
“I want you to get this out of your system before
you come over for Christmas; I would really like a peaceful Christmas.” So
would I, Mrs Woodhouse. So.Would.I.
In other
words: I love you both very much, but I’m still your mother and I want you both
to stop behaving like children.
This family’s
holidays remind me of what goes on with my own family and my in-laws. Every
year around the holiday table there’s bickering and, inevitably, someone’s
feelings get hurt. Every year someone stops talking to someone…and every year
everyone gets together again; if not for the entire meal, at least for coffee
and dessert after visiting with their respective in-laws. And every year at
least one mother claims that this does not happen with anybody else’s family.
Humans and
their family sagas fascinate me.
