I was laug...hahahahhaha brie I think I just died!!! I was laughing to the point of tears--TEARS, I tell you--and I'm also in the computer lab with about a dozen other people and they're, like, wth is so funny, huh? WHAT ARE YOU LAUGHING AT. And I try to tell them, but since I'm, like, peeing my pants, my attention is sufficiently divided between keeping my lower muscles bunched up in an effort to stave off further humiliation, still reading this blog post, imagining said talent show, and not falling out of my chair, I cannot answer them. And they are pissed at me, thanks very much. Thank you, THANK YOU for this. WHY have I never heard this story before?? Oh man, I love you--and I'll see in in (about) two days!!!Marissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17811537471848041179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-31824463309045303342009-12-15T20:27:01.102-07:002009-12-15T20:27:01.102-07:00Oh my goodness!! that is just hilarious!!I am SOOO...Oh my goodness!! that is just hilarious!!I am SOOOOO glad my family has never done such a crazy ritual!!allegrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17703549873236653571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-42671975729455970262009-12-15T20:14:01.211-07:002009-12-15T20:14:01.211-07:00This story made me giggle...a) Because your writin...This story made me giggle...a) Because your writing is more entertaining than David Sedaris' b) I played the violin in 4th grade...and was forced to play in front of my family on Christmas...by myself. And I'm sure I was worse than you and your brother were! "I feel your pain".<br /><br />And on a completely random note: I want to work as a receptionist while I am grad school! How does one get that job? What kind of *skills* do I need? Please don't say numbchuck skills!Alexandra Risinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06037472220915433875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-61129194686528047292009-12-15T15:40:20.151-07:002009-12-15T15:40:20.151-07:00(a) SO jealous that you and Laura talked on the ph...(a) SO jealous that you and Laura talked on the phone, with real voices.<br /><br />(b) Laughed so hard at your story that I almost peed in my pants. Which isn't all that hard seeing as I've birthed 4 very large offspring from my vagina and peeing is rather effortless.<br /><br />(c) I think I need to start a talent show starring my very own children this year just so they will have great stories when they're older.<br /><br />(d) I love the fact that you write these things almost every day and you either make me laugh or cry. I am never neutral.

One year my sister and I did a lip sing to "a whole new world" where I was Jasmine and she was Aladdin. Now my mom makes us do it every year! And the rest of us just do some sort of lip sing (or is it lip sync? Hmmm...). Its special times to say the least.Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02673459282276231731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6957758174408171291.post-36530555912811487132009-12-15T10:50:55.235-07:002009-12-15T10:50:55.235-07:00Oh Brie I am laughing so hard with tears streaming...Oh Brie I am laughing so hard with tears streaming down my face...probably because I completely remember your special cello performance that special Christmas Eve of 1994!! But also I am a little bit sentimental of the fact that all 10 of us LOVED Christmas EVE with all our hearts and all my memories came flooding back!!!...WE all slept up in Troy's room, so cramped together but loving every second. We would stay awake ALL night playing Monopoly, pounding on the walls to wake m and d up, and swearing we heard santa out Troy's window every 5 minutes...it really was a magical way for a kid to grow up. AND I DO thank mom for trying so hard to make Christmas so great for all of us...she was AMAZIN'! Okay this comment was waaaay to long and waaay to sentimental! Thanks for the cheery story, it just made my day!tawnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805559118158104368noreply@blogger.com
