You told them to help themselves. You didn't tell them they couldn't eat what they wanted. Since they're not mindreaders, they didn't know there was a magical amount of food they were supposed to take.<br /><br />Michael, Maria, and Pia, you did nothing wrong. Eat what you want. Your grandfather has had either too much bourbon, or not enough bourbon."<br /><br />All the above should be said in a calm, conversational tone. It's the only way to deal with bullies like this - and they ARE bullies. No point in screaming and fighting - but no point in bullshitting, either. Why let them get away with that kind of behaviour? <br /><br />IvyKllrAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-20813975435214161892010-01-10T17:48:48.702-08:002010-01-10T17:48:48.702-08:00Oh LPC.

They say it's more flavorful *shrug*<br /><br />Have you tried valium? I thought about doing that this year when we hosted the in-laws, but found that brandy slushes did the trick for me (don't normally drink and don't like the feeling of being drunk, but desperate times call for desperate measures).Melnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3577155903853273621.post-29772080253726477402010-01-08T17:08:17.603-08:002010-01-08T17:08:17.603-08:00White meat....ugh....there's SOOOOO much white...White meat....ugh....there's SOOOOO much white meat left over in a turkey that I swear it multiplies....we end up freezing and even throwing away white meat--even with 'white meat eaters'....pass the xanax indeed!!!
