"piggy pudding? no they said figgy."

day two of making christmas cookies is almost wrapped up. there's something goofy and perfect about sitting at the table, rolling out balls while listening to john denver and the muppets sing christmas songs.

last night while playing dominoes my mom was complaining about having to lean so far out of her chair in order to be able to see the clock. she had to put her one clock away to make room for some decorations. i informed her that they now make clocks that you can wear on your arm. when she asked me why anyone would want to wear a clock on her arm we all lost it. after she too got the joke she told me not to be smart.

my sister's boyfriend then asked out loud how he could be so stupid, when he played the wrong domino. my sister raised her hand and said, "oh oh i know i know!" i just said, "do you want a list or should we just shout out things at random?" he said he wanted a different girlfriend for christmas with a more supportive family. we just looked at one another and shrugged.
