Thanksgiving!

We do Thanksgiving every year, except for the last 2 when we were either in A. Hungary or B. just back and renting a small apartment. But this year, we were back to Tradition. We had a Big group. It was going so well- everyone was having a good time and then, suddenly it wasn't so much fun anymore. Nephew B was asked to back my mother's Brand New Car out of the driveway. I didn't think he had been drinking (hadn't been here long enough, I thought)  He did it at high speed, crashing my mother's car into my brother in law's car, damaging them both. Really??? WTH?  Big Downer. Did I mention that my mother's last new car was bought in 1995. Yep. It took her 18 years to buy a new car, and him 18 seconds to trash it. My brother was mad at me for letting him drive her car. Really? He's 25 years old! I said, "It's not like I let N drive!" N is 14. He said "I would have done a better job, Mom.  You got that right....

sigh.
