Nursery Rhymes.

Well, it wouldn't be thanksgiving unless i somehow inflicted some level of discomfort on my immediate family. And so, as per usual, i have given out the annual thanksgivingpalooza assignment. And truthfully? it kinda sucks this year. I suppose i've poured all my creative juices into writing lately and there's not much left. excuses, excuses! Seester tried to convince me that this assignment stood a chance but i'm not sure i'm buying it. doug is really struggling and usually he blows right through these things. I'm contemplating scrapping the whole thing but i don't have a back up yet. do we skip a year? bow our heads in silence? finally give in and perform interpretive dances? I just don't know.

Anyways, here's the email I sent informing them all of their turkey day assignment:

Listen up people! I am pleased to announce the 2009 Thanksgiving Poem Form (even though i may have cheated and already told you guys what i had planned when we were in Asheville)

Drum role please...

NURSERY RHYMES! Can you even stand it? Too cute, i know.

You may choose any nursery rhyme but you must change the lines to reflect why you are thankful during this special holiday season. Below I have provided you with a list of nursery rhymes to help you brainstorm and find the rhyme that's perfect for you.

Also, I heard somewhere that if you don't participate in Aunt **'s silly games, your unborn child may never forgive you. Just sayin. I like you all very much and look forward to eatin turkey and all the fixins with you real soon. I got my eye on your stuffin so watch your back....
