I love Thanksgiving Day and all the predictability that comes with it. Each year, the family and I make the annual trek up north to an often snow-infested part of northwest Indiana dubbed “The Region.” This would be her family — an entire house filled with people that I haven’t seen since last year’s festivities. Oh what joy! The real entertainment will begin when I start checking off the list of this year’s over/under predictions:
5 — The number of times that Gus, my 3-month old Pug has “an accident” on my in-laws new downstairs carpeting.
7 — Incidents that involve children crying.
2 — Incidents that involve adults crying.
3 — Bottles of wine consumed throughout the day.
18 — Cigarettes secretly smoked while “taking out Gus.”
1 — Major announcement that someone is pregnant. (This has happened for the past six years, I’m NOT kidding.)
60 — Minutes late that lunch/dinner is actually served.
34 — Total score of Tennessee/Detroit game.
40 — Total score of Seattle/Dallas game.
47 — Total Score of Arizona/Philadelphia game.
I will promise to observe keenly and report back on these predictions for those of you who are playing the home version of the game.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
