Mom:
Our home in DEC. : I take one room, Allen takes one room. Sally takes one room. Joy, Melodie and Alexa in Melodie room. Three of them can lay cross way on Queen size bed. Will that work? Or Alexa come to sleep with me. I know Joy and Melodie will not want to on my bed. Am I right ?
**Anyway, my mind is thinking how to have an arrangement when I have house-full of young adults. EXCITING TIME !!!!!
Alexa to the whole family:
I have a better idea:
Why don't NONE of us sleep in beds, and then we will just camp out in our backyard?! It'll be like that family campout we never went on. Melodie loves camping. It is her favorite! And we can sing songs around the campfire and we'll roast marshmallows and, mom, you can bring the electric stove and we'll boil sausage like that time we camped out in the bathroom when they were changing our counters. Now THAT's exciting.
Allen to the siblings only:
That sounds like a lot of fun. But where will you get the tent? I thought Melodie hated camping cause she can't wash her hair. Is this a new hobby? If so I can give her some of my camping equipment so she can use it in Chicago.
Joy in response, to the siblings only:
Honey,Alexa is being funny.
Though, I bet if we did have a tent, I might sleep in it for a night, just for fun...and depending on how insulated the sleeping bag.
I actually get kinda hungry when I think about that day in the bathroom. We ate a lot of sausage. It's kind of ridiculous how many I remember us eating.
Mom to Alexa:
Will the temp too low to sleep outside? I think to play ourside is fun, a great idea, not to fall to sleep soundly. Houston ground is too wet to sleep on. some wild animals may come, remeber? The parson[PG]** came, you and I were scared. We can talk to Don , he may help us to do some TEXAS Style. We do not want injuries .Someone like me can NOT do Texas grilling.
Alexa to the sibs:
hahahahaha
hahahaha
haha
Allen to sibs:
That day in the bathroom was one of the best days of my childhood. I don't think there were many days that I had more fun as a family as that day. TO this day anytime I have sausage or just food with sausages in it, I think of that day. My children and all my nieces and nephews will eat have a eat sausage with me experience!
Mom to Alexa:
I like your creative idea which will give me a reason to eat sausages. Let us eat german food on 12/26/08. Sausages, saukwart, beats, German bread, to bake apple tart? Actually is a very good idea to cook outside, to enjoy MY winter garden!!!! Let us tease our cat, Sandy. Buy some fish meat an dcall her name, let us to eat with us togehter. She is so old, how spoil we can do to her? hahaha-----To make her to eat crazy. mama
End scene.
