“Home for the Horrordays”

Last Wednesday I packed my bag and basically moved back into my parent’s house for the holidays. The mere 15-minute schlep to Sandy Springs left me feeling like the last woman walking (and still on one leg, mind you). Don’t get me wrong, I love my parents, but my mom somehow used my inability to drive as a way to lock me in the cold basement and toss me scraps.
To add to the magic of Thanksgiving at the Lichtenstein’s, Dr. Smarter Sibling (a.k.a. my brother) made a rare appearance. His years of medical education has given him the gift of responding to every statement from a “doctor’s perspective,” as if he is presenting his theories on life like a well-researched thesis…like his education was a right of passage to uncover the many layers of genius in HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” Thank God I have a super-chill dad who is always willing to share his fancy scotch with me or I would have been stuffing the photo albums of my Bat Mitzvah down my pants, sneaking out the window and hobbling my way to freedom.
The highlight of my trip to Sandy Spring-Me-Oudda-Here was the Chinese last supper on Saturday night. Why do Jews LOVE Chinese food during the holidays? Such an odd craving, but truly the first time everybody got along (MSG has proven to be a conversation stimulant) and it was as if the simple, yet age-old favorite, the fortune cookie, brought the family closer together. Dear fortune cookie, you have a “Happy Nice Day,” too!
ON TAP:
Saturday is the PSC SEC Championship Party at Andrews Upstairs. Rooooooll Tide…I mean GO Yellow Jackets or Dekalb Community College Duckbill Platypuses…I dunno, or care.
