Things have been pretty crazy at the Burrow so I haven't had much time to write. Since my inbox has been flooded with requests/demands/pleas for a new post I suppose I better write SOMETHING to keep the mobs at bay. As if, haha.
Today I think I'll tell you all about my Thanksgiving weekend. It all started when I decided to take the children sleigh riding on Thursday morning. Hahahaha, gotcha. You thought I sold out and became a traditional blogger. No, today I'm going to tell you some of the funny things people have said to/around me recently.
1. I challenged one of my kids to a game of foosball and instead of saying, "Prepare to feel my wrath" he said, "Prepare to feel my rash."
2. An adult neighbor asked the wife if we were nervous our children would fall in love with each other since some of them are adopted.
3. A coworker actually said that HP7.1 was boring. For all you muggles that means Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1. I have heard the term HP7 before but I though the .1 was a nice addition if I do say so myself.
4. Speaking of Harry Potter and ridiculous things people say, I have to add all of the people who were so offended by the "Harry and Hermione makeout scene" before they even saw it.
I realize that specific part wasn't in the book but it really expounded Ron's character to a new level, demonstrating the depth of his love for Hermione as never before seen while showing the deep seeded insecurity and jealousy he feels having Harry as his best friend. Growing up the 5th of six children in a slightly poor family has left Ron feeling forgotten and terribly ordinary, never feeling special, accomplished or deserving of his true love. Hints of these feelings have been presented in pervious books, but it took the horcrux around his neck to fully reveal his deepest love, insecurity and fear. Eh, who am I kidding? I just liked it because Hermione is cute.
