Thanksgiving a few years back was fun. My mom and dad has just remodeled their living room and got new furniture, including a new, very lovely sofa. We all ate Thanksgiving dinner. What follows dinner on my favorite Thursday of the year?
Dessert. Cherry pie.
Ben and I were dating at the time. I fixed him and myself a large slice of pie and brought it to him in the living room. I jokingly hassled him about making sure he didn’t get anything on my mom’s new couch. And when I say hasseled, I mean I didn’t let up. I told him my mom would be soo irate if he as much as dropped a crumb, which was not true…I just wanted him to think that. We were all laughing and having a good time. I went to get up to get another glass of milk…
And my freaking piece of cherry pie plopped right on to my mom and dad’s 2 week old couch.
A hush fell over the whole room for what seemed like eternity. And then everyone bust out laughing and yelled for my mom to come see her lovely cherry-stained couch.
I guess that’s what I get for poking fun at him.
I posted this particular story to pay homage to my dear friend Ben Brown. This is the only time I will post any real names.
