11 Thoughts You Have While Sitting At The Kids' Table During Thanksgiving Dinner
lifeasmom.com

If you're one of the oldest among your cousins, you might know what it is like to have to sit at the kids' table during Thanksgiving dinner. Here are some experiences that all people in this predicament have probably gone through:

1. Feeling old because you keep getting annoyed over the fact that the kids won't put their cell phones away for five minutes.

2. Thinking about the fact that most of the people at your table weren't even alive when the series finale of "Friends" first aired.

3. Feeling like your mind is going numb because of all the chatter going on at your table about whatever trash is on Disney Channel these days.

4. Getting annoyed that the kids at your table will never know the wonders of Disney shows like "Lizzie McGuire" and "Even Stevens."

5. Dealing with the annoying "fun uncle" who chooses to sit at the kids' table because he thinks it's ironic and funny (FYI: it's not).

6. Worrying that you're going to be put at the kids' table for the rest of your life, even when you're a 40 year old with a mortgage and back problems.


7. Wishing you had access to booze to numb the pain of having to listen to all the baby talk going on around you.

8. Having to go around for the rest of the day with a giant gravy stain on your shirt after your little cousin spills it on you.

9. Counting down the hours to your family's annual Thanksgiving touch football game, during which you can let out all the pent up aggression you have from your experiences at the kids' table.

10. Wondering where the public school system went wrong with the kids at your table.

11. Worrying about the future of humanity after listening in on all the weird conversations going on at your table.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
