Is this a normal thanksgiving?
This is a little overview of what is happening next week. My family has negotiated (yes we actually have to negotiate) to spend this Thanksgiving at my Mother's. Simple right? Except that I have been asked by my dying grandmother to find and steal a family watch that she gave to my mother in trust only for her to refuse to give it back after the divorce. My younger sister has decided to use the chaos of Christmas time to escape down to Texas for a job so she won't have to deal with my mother's guilt. While she has told me and my youngest sibling she asked us to hide the real reason why she isn't attending. My oldest sister has decided to introduce her all-but-fiance to her mother at the dinner. My youngest sister has decided that she will not be attending college in the spring like she previously said she would and that I am at fault for attending college (She thinks I am using up my parents money. Personally I blame the fact that they spent the college money on a decade long divorce.)Did I mention she is dating a drug dealer? Probably not important. Lastly, my mom believes I am a closeted gay. I guess liking My Little Pony, being neat, not bringing girlfriends home and working out a lot gave a lot of mixed signals. Not an issue except her husband is Baptist preacher and my youngest sister sees it as a great opportunity to needle me about. I know issues arise with every family but I think we might be overdoing it.
