Should I be scared?

Nov 21st, 2007 by Accidental Thinker

Recently, my mom mentioned that she might need some help from the family, when everyone is down over Thanksgiving, to move some furniture out of the way and straighten a certain upstairs rug that has become a scrunched up tripping hazard.

After the experience two years ago with the rug in question, a classic testament to what can go very, very wrong when families get together at Thanksgiving, I’m thinking I should be very, very afraid. What say you, blog friends? Should I run screaming in the opposite direction? Should I pre-program 911 into the speed dial of my cell phone, for easy access in the event of bodily harm?

yes, from what I read last time, i think when your mom wants to move anything you should be afraid.

I didn’t get to comment before Thanksgiving. We left early in the week. So…how’d it go?

I didn’t get here until now, either. Are you still there? Did you survive? What happened? Waiting, like the cat who ate some cheese and then sat in front of the mouse-hole, with bated breath.

Without an update, we are left wondering if a piece of furniture fell on you!

Oh, geez, family holidays – togetherness – and more togetherness. Just stick w/ the “deep cleansing breaths” thingy. ;0)

Merry Christmas to you all!

I am long delinquent in providing an update, but we were all granted a reprieve. The subject of the rug never came up. No one dared mention it, I think!
