  • Listen to a sister preach it for a minute

    Listen.

    I know we are all human, but I don't want to hear about how you ate something you weren't supposed to eat on Thanksgiving knowing full well you have time to practice "Just saying No".

    I'm removing all that power you think you have right now to get one past me.

    You'd better start thinking of all the lame excuses right now for why you think I'm not going to smack you upside the head when I see you ate some of the marshmallow yams.

    Don't give me "But, cleo! I was walking through the dining room and I TRIPPED over the dog and my mouth fell open right on this plate of yams."

    No, no, no.

    I don't want to hear you had to hide the pecans rolls in your bra to keep them warm for your husband. Honey, he can keep his own buns warm.

    I don't want to hear you licked off the spoon that went in the mashed potatoes but you didn't inhale.

    I don't want to hear that you didn't have relations with that woman, Sarah Lee, while you're touching her pie crust.

    uhn uhn uhn.


    Thanksgiving should be the easiest exercise in self-control. You've got a turkey right there.

    You don't need the stuffing. It came out of a dead bird's butt. Hello. Dead bird butt bread leavins?

    And that cranberry sauce? Let's be real here. Cranberries are probably fine on the OWL rung, but if it came out of a can and looks like a nuclear cooling tower and makes a schlopp sound as it falls onto the plate, it had better not be on your fork.

    That's right. Give me that look. Don't make me come over there.

    I spewed water out of my nose laughing at this. I did!!

    Are you saying that you won't accept "I accidently ate <insert carbage food here>"??

      Oh no no no no no honey.

      Not even if there's a fear of drowning because you fell face-first into a tidepool of gravy on your uncle's mashed potato platter.

        Preach girl, preach. I heard all of that and then some. I certainly don't want to be the one with the lame excuses. I'm already planning my escape route just in case. (LOL!) Thanks for always keeping it real Cleoachtra. Your the best.

          LMAO! You are soooooooooo funny!

          No worries with me on Thanksgiving.....we don't have it in Norway. Yes we have turkeys, but they are so skinny here they look like they've been reading the DANDR!

          Happy Thanksgiving you guys!

          Better be good.....our Cleo is watching.

            OMG, this is awesome. Cleo, you rock mylady . I have been wondering which excuse I could actually use. I don't have a dog, I burned my bra, but I do love what comes from a dead birds butt.
            Does anyone else like the tail?

                Hee! Fantastic post Cleo! I love it!

                I'm going to say right NOW that there is not a chance in H-E-doublehockeysticks that I'll be cheating. I hate thanksgiving food! :P I'm assured that the gravy will be flour free, and other than the mashed potatoes and rolls, I find the rest of it to be VILE. Turkey all the way! Long live the turkey! Oh wait, that isn't right. :P

                        You are hysterical. I wish I could write like that. I think what you said was priceless. Nothing like making us think before we act!

                          I think we should all print this off and stick it in our back pocket, or our bra, or wherever, and take it with us on Thanksgiving. 1. It will remind us of not cheating. 2. It will fill up the space we were going to hide that carby, nasty food!

                            Thanks for getting the humor here. Laughter is good, and preferably not because we're naked in front of a mirror. In which case, there could be tears. And laughter. But tears. And maybe some laughter. But then some tears, too. And maybe some laughter...
