They are the ones to do something completely inappropriate in front of your kids (shooting olives out their noses at the table) and it still makes you laugh. Do things you don't let anyone else do (throwing food on the floor to your pet hoards) and telling tales of things best never brought up again (the time you were on pain meds for pulled wisdom teeth and thought there was a ghost in your room so you ran downstairs half naked into a livingroom full of people). And yes, that did actually happen to me (but I don't remember it).
So, in the spirit of the Holiday~ Eat some pie, watch some football, make up a crazy little ditty about some overweight birds, and remember to keep that wine glass full ~ but most of all ~ Enjoy each other and be Thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving ~ Dee

ReplyDeleteWho stole that piece of pumpkin pie? OH NOOOOOOOO - it was not I! It must have been a little fly. Punkie Coo ~ Punkie Coo... I was only foolin' you. Punkie Coo ~ Punkie Coo ... I was only foolin' YOUUUUUUUU!!!! :)
ReplyDeleteFor those of you in blog land that do not recognize that catchy little ditty - that is the first runner up in the bizarre songs category that our Nana made up at Holiday tables. I forgot about that one....I know I know....who could forget that? Thanks for reminding Heidi.
ReplyDeleteUnless your Nana knew our Memére, it's not likely that Nana made the song up. We sang this at our home in the early 1940's and learned it from Memére.
