BLACK FRIDAY

it was an oh so delectable

THANKSGIVING 

DINNER.

the discomfort of all

the magnificently rich and homecooked

comfort food,

began to be unbearable

step one: undo the pants

or at least change into the expandables

step two: rolaids

step three: lie down

step four: hang the 

"DO NOT DISTURB" sign

naturally, noah did not overeat

and so he was not uncomfortable

and he still has some good ol' energizer bunny in him.

grandma and grandpa

decided to stay a bit longer

and agreed to deliver him to our home.

i was just bordering on comfortable

when noah

burst through the door

"come on...get dressed...it is 

BLACK FRIDAY."

my thoughts:

"what happened to 'DO NOT DISTURB ?'"

what came out of my mouth is

"it is not  BLACK FRIDAY.

it is still thursday

it is still THANKSGIVING

and besides it is dangerous...!"

his argument:

"one day a year EVERYTHING

goes on sale...

things that are $1,000.00 

are $49.00 on this day only."

"noah

it is thursday,

so it can't be  BLACK FRIDAY"

so we watched a movie.

 BLACK FRIDAY

i washed.

i folded.

i paid bills.

i scanned items.

i dressed head to toe
in BLACK 

and called it

 BLACK FRIDAY.

noah thought that was the dumbest thing ever :)
