Best seat in the house, only time of the year when at 38
you still get to pull your sister's hair and gat a round of applause for a sonorous fart. However my wife and brother in law sit at the adults table. Strange how my gran sees them as adults and us as kids.I suppose when you've thrown up cherry cola on their carpet a few times they never see you as an adult.Hope they get me an XBOX 360 though.
So your family sits all the (blood-related) single people together, like at some dinner party where the married couples are trying to set up their single friends?
And since you've come of age, they have moved your creepy single 46 year old uncle to your table to try his luck?
Is this normal in Texas?
Merry Christmas
Hahaha! No, nothing like that. My uncle isn't creepy either. He's just afraid of commitment. He was getting serious with this one woman that we all liked, but broke up with her when after she picked out his bed sheets.
You mean "picked out" as in selected? That is a harsh reason to break up with someone...
That's what I meant, which is why he sits at the kiddie table.
I'll rock the kiddie table till I die!
the grown up table is lame, they talk about politics and who can't hear anymore.
Our family tried graduating my oldest cousin to the grownup table when my gradfather died, but that didn't hold. We now have a kid's table with 10 or 11 (depending if my sister has to work) "kids" me being the youngest at 26 and my cousin's wife at 40 being the oldest. Our first little runt just got introduced to the family so I assume eventually our table dynamics will change, but for now I will be sitting with the same people I have sat with for my whole life, and we would have it no other way. We get fairly rowdy and have been doing so for a while and we drink our fair share of alcohol.
I don't sit at the kiddie table, but since he drools, can't chew solid food and poops his diaper, we do make my little grandpa.
Some of my family members aren't coming to my grandparents' for Thanksgiving this year so I might have a chance to sit at the grown-up table!
GGMF!
This post was removed.
grandpa died a couple years back and grandma is in a nursing home. thanksgiving has kind of deteriorated without them. used to be the whole family(dads 5 siblings and thier families about 30 of us) at their house now everyone just does their own thing. half dont even get along. kinda sad. christmas eve with moms family is still going pretty strong though, however at the moment grandpa and great grandma are in the same rehab facility for hip replacement surgury. there have been a couple deaths on that side recently too that change the dynamics. i need to move back to the dallas area before everyone is gone. thank you txrunnergirl for bringing me down. i was like way up here ^, now im right around this area _ . im going to go cry now.

I sit with the kid-dies
The Billy Madison way-ee-ay
I like the kiddie table. That way I can get to know my little nephews better. We like to play doctor after dinner.
No, I sit at the D1 table
HHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHA!
You beat me to it!
My sister runs for a big D1 school and sits across from my father at the head of the table. I run D2 and eat at the kiddie table (its so much fun!) My cousin runs d3 and eats outside. My other cousin he runs NIAA ( or whatever it is) and he eats the dog's leftovers.
Cheers.
