Our Thanksgiving was great, probably one of the best ever. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time. Dinner conversation (and jokes) centered around our DD(20) driving home from college for the day with her dead hamster in a box on the front seat next to her. She was bringing it home so that it could be buried in the "family plot" along with all of our other animals from over the past years! At about 9 p.m. she decided it was time to bury "SPAZ." No one had the heart all day to tell her the ground was frozen. So here she was, trying to dig a hole in the yard, it was 20 degrees out and we were having 40 mph winds! And her brothers went out on the deck, in the dark, and played "Amazing Grace" on their trumpets. One of my managers from work was there and I don't think I have ever seen him laugh that hard! We love our animals but....
DD had called me the night before (at about 1 a.m.) to tell me that SPAZ was dying. She was so upset. But I told her hamsters usually live two or three years and she'd only had SPAZ for about a year so I doubted she was dying unless she had gotten sick from something. Well, DD starts crying and said that's what she thought, too, but when she mentioned it to her boyfriend he confessed that it was a "used" hamster when he had bought it for her! He bought her a used hamster and never told her someone else had owned it! And DD can't understand why we don't like this guy??![]()
I went to work today and the all the employees were humming "Amazing Grace" all during the day.
Kathy I don't think they'll ever let you forget that at work
