The Whipped Cream Incident

I hope all of you who celebrated Thanksgiving had a great time yesterday.  We did.  There were no fires this year. That was a good thing.  But there was a whipped cream incident.  Let me tell you about it.

After dinner, it was time for pumpkin pie.  My father-in-law decided to eat his piece in the family room while watching the football game.  Big mistake.  My son plopped down right next to him.  As he did, the whipped cream-covered pie fell off the plate and landed on my father-in-law's belly.  Not at all ruffled by this, my father-in-law put the pie back on the plate and finished eating it.  "What's a little whipped cream on the shirt?" he said.

Apparently my husband and brother-in-law thought that whipped cream on the shirt looked quite fashionable. Do you know what they did?  They grabbed two cans of Reddi  Wip and started chasing each other around the house.  My husband managed to spray the front of my brother-in-law's shirt.  My brother-in-law sprayed my husband's arms.  Then the kids and dog got involved.  Around and around they went chasing each other,  laughing, screaming, and spraying each other with Reddi Wip.

Did I mention they were wearing turkey hats, too?  Yep.  It was a sight.  Grown men over forty, running around the house, wearing turkey hats, Reddi Wipping themselves.    I don't think they'll ever grow up!

  2. Nope, they don't and that's probably what makes us love them. They make us laugh, and that's good.

    btw -Who had to clean up?

  3. Compared to your Thanksgiving, mine was uneventful. My hubby and son both helped with different things throughout the day, so I was very thankful for that. Hubby even started cleaning up before I did. : )

  4. I love people who never grow up cuz they're just like me. That story is hilarious. Someone once told me, however (just in case anyone is tempted), Don't use whipped cream in bed. It sounds like fun but it ends up a sour stinky mess. So I've never taken whipped cream to bed with me -- just an occasional cookie.

    Love,
    Janie

  7. haha. Great post. This sounds like something my family would do. That's the best thing about guys--they never quite lose the little boy in them. He can always be talked into coming out to play. :)

    I tagged you on my blog in the "You Got the Look" meme.
    Feel free to put it up whenever. Or never. haha It's up to you.

    Glad you had such a nice Thanksgiving!
