Visiting my mother yesterday on Mother's Day....."Hey, Mom, you used to crochet; did you ever knit?" Mom replied, "No, I never did knit." There were 16 of us sitting in a huge circle in the yard. One of my nieces said she is learning to knit. Out comes my phone with a quick link to Selina's ferrets in mighty concentration at the chessboard. Niece Melinda took one look at it, passed it on to the next person, then ran for the house, laughing. Well...it's a long way to the house. My parents have only one bathroom. 15 of us remaining from the circle, all eventually crowded around the closed bathroom door, begging Melinda to hurry, and laughing, laughing, LAUGHING! Just remember Wolfy's reaction and multiply it 16 times. I'd say we do definitely have enough for a Class Action. My poor old father needs a walker to get around. One of the other nieces is heavily pregnant. Her 2 toddlers are slow. Those 4 were last in line. My poor old Dad, trying to keep both hands on the walker, shuffling, laughing. Poor Lynda, holding her big belly and trying to run, laughing. Her poor little kids trying to keep up with the rest of us and falling all over the yard, laughing. 16 of us! Some others there who didn't see the pictures.... so we have witnesses! Now I see that Selina admits she isn't even sorry. No remorse. Bring on the lawyers! Since that was the fourth day in a row for me to see the chess game and with the same results, do I get a bigger share? Does my pregnant niece count as 2? It's not about the money....this was a nice, rare family get-together on a fine and beautiful Spring day, turned into a stampede! Donna P.s. I used to play chess, so I know what was going thru the little minds of the white and silver ferrets as they pondered their third move. I saw the smug satisfaction of the chocolate team. I could tell they thought they were winning that early in the game. P.P.S. I just got off the phone with my 78-year-old mother. She admitted she already wears Depends and she did on Mother's Day. She is interested in getting only a few dollars to buy another box, unless, of course, the settlement would be enough for them to add a second bathroom. [Posted in FML 7426]
