I had posted some of this on another thread, when I thought it might be fun to have a thread of "what is actually going thru people's minds" when they are sitting there at the Memorial...
Here are my contributions:
"I don't care what mom says, I'm never going to this dumb thing again. She could at least let me have my Gameboy if she's going to make me come to these dumb things."
"At least when we go to dad's house next weekend we get to hunt Easter eggs! Going to Sunday School at grandma's church when we stay with dad is so much more fun! I wish mom didn't get so mad. I just won't tell her."
"Whoa...duuuude...this sh*t's alot easier to deal with if you can sneak out to the car to spark some herb. At least it'll keep the ol lady off my case for a while. Wonder what she'd do if I drank that wine? (giggle)"
"I suppose I'd be a better person and husband if I was interested in this stuff. I hope she doesn't get the idea I'm going to start going to all her damned meetings."
"OK, keep reminding yourself, yes this is a pain in the a$$ but it's worth it if it keeps my family talking to me and generally off my back the rest of the year."
"Good grief, why did I let him/her talk me into this? I'm not interested in this religion, I just can't say that to his/her face. I wish s/he'd just leave me alone. I'm not answering the door the next time s/he comes."
"God this is boring, but you do have to go to church somewhere every Easter. Still, I'm not coming back here next time. I didn't realize you weren't supposed to take communion at a JW church! That's screwy."
"Whew. That's over again for another year!"
