Thanksgiving 2009…Part Deux!
In our last episode, we had the charming and sexy single dad about to bring the kids over to the ex-in-laws for a Thanksgiving dinner. Part deux of Thanksgiving 2009 starts with the drive over to the other side of town. Now, I thought I was listening to Hannah Montana. As a side bar, that is all I EVER listen to in my car with my kids…oh ya and High School Musical. For those single parents who feel my pain…can I get an AMEN!
Anyway, so I think I am listening to Hannah Montana, when in reality I was listening to the theme song from “Friday the 13th” all the way over there. Like many things as a single parent, it is NEVER as bad as it seems. The ex-wife was very cordial and the ex-in-laws were excellent hosts. The food was great and they even gave me leftovers. I made this amazing soup, and even the ex-wife took some home with her, so I know I did something right. After a great dinner and dessert, I left my kids with their mother and drove to my friend’s house to hang out with him and his wife. It was his wife’s birthday and they were having some people over for a round 2 of Thanksgiving and to watch a movie.
Here is where the fun starts, so pay attention or you will miss it. Now I have to tell you, I don’t drink or smoke, not for any religious reason, but I just never acquired a taste for alcohol growing up. Anyway, so we all had a great meal….again. Now my stomach feels like it is about to explode. Just before we are all about to watch the new Star Trek Movie on this amazing big-screen T.V. with surround sound, the wife of my friend says to me, “Steve, do you mind if we smoke?’
I’m like, “Sure…It’s your house..I don’t care.”
Then everyone gets up but me and starts smoking….the thing is, they weren’t talking about cigarettes. That’s right, they were all pot smokers. You think you know people, until they let their guard down around you. Now, I don’t judge and to each his own in their own home, but the smell. I felt like I was at a Grateful Dead concert.
Now what they say about people who smoke pot and having munchies is so true. After they all did their smoking thing (did I mention each of them had their own designer pipes? Oh YES! Some had red ones, some had black ones, some had pink ones), they all ravaged the kitchen once again and started devouring all the leftovers like vultures flying down to kill their prey. It was actually kind of funny to watch.
Finally, after they had their little smoke…we all chilled and watched the Star Trek movie. Within 30 minutes, everyone was asleep, but me…..cest la vie! Another Thanksgiving in the books!
