You guys will never, ever, ever believe what happened to me today. I’m so embarrassed …and kind of mad. And it’s all because of my parents. We were having dinner and my mom said, “Sparky, we have something we want to tell you about Thanksgiving this year.” And I TRIED to pretend I didn’t know, but I blurted out “I know! We’re going to the Tropical Island on holiday! I can’t wait!” And my parents looked at each other and my dad cleared his throat and said, “Well, we’re not ALL going. I’m going. Your mom is going. But you’re not.”
And I just stared at him. I couldn’t believe it.
And then he said, “How did you know about the holiday, anyway?” And we got into a discussion about eavesdropping and how sometimes it can give you the wrong idea about something.
No kidding.
My mom said she was sorry, but she and my dad were about to celebrate their fifteenth wedding anniversary, and this was their special trip.
So I get to stay with my Uncle Arte for Thanksgiving. And Uncle Arte is NOT a great cook like my mom. So we’ll probably end up having frozen turkey dinners and a soggy pumpkin pie from the W Shop.
And I guess I’ll have to tell my friends that I’m NOT going on holiday. They’ll never let me live it down.
This might just be the worst Thanksgiving in the history of Kinzville.
I’m sorry, Sparky. I wish your parents could have waited until after Thanksgiving for their anniversary celebration, but there may be a good reason they couldn’t. Your friends will understand and sympathize. That’s what friends do. Thanksgiving is about being thankful, and I’ll bet you’ll find a whole bunch of friends you’re thankful for.
I knew this would happen but really, his parents should’ve at least stayed for Thanksgiving.
Oh Sparky, I know how this is. Sometimes staying home can turn out to be a good thing! You’ll see! My family and I always stay home for Thanksgiving, and we have fun too! >>cathouse2
Oh sparky, you should go too,u deserve it! I suprised they did not want to spend such a special occasion with u!!!
Bummer! I’m terribly sorry you can’t go to the tropical island with your parents, but you do realize this is THERE anniversary. They just want to spend a little time together. Feel better!
That sure is embarassing! Sorry Sparks! ~CC~
And this is why you should never eavesdrop. I guess Sparky learnt his lesson. If I were his friend, I’d never let him hear the end of it!
That would be really mean. Sparky fells bad enough, his friends shouldn’t make him feel worse.
I have to agree with you. While his friends should be nice because he just found out his parents were leaving for Thanksgiving, they should also give him a kinda hard time because he did eavsdrop. I do feel sorry for him though. :( ~~Tanglefire
random question! how many of you entered the winged tiger and petal print skunk writing contest? I did!
Awww I feel bad for sparky.
Hey, why doesn’t Sparky just find out if he can go to a friend’s house? That’s what I did last year. It was tons of fun.
Aw, Sparks. Im sorry, it must feel terrible. Why would your parentz not want to celebrate Thanksgiving with you? I dont really celebrate it, but we do get invited to Thanksgiving parties. I dont really enjoy it because if those poor turkeys. :( ~KK♥
I’m so sorry Sparky! I would feel so bad if my parents went on a vacation without me. But I’m sure you’ll have a great time with Arte, besides it’s not the food that matters, it’s spending time with family. :) ~~Mockingjay*
i agree, you can still have fun! ask your uncle if you can have some friends over the day before thanksgiving or something…. *stylegirl12*
Maybe because they are celebrating their wedding anaversery
Aw Sparky that’s too bad. I knew there was something wrong with it. Well, Arte’s not that bad, and you’ll go gem hunting with him! ~*Star*~
Sparky, Im sorry. I hope you have a good Thanksgiving with your Uncle. Best Wishes!
It’s been sooo long since I last commented! I’ve missed so much! It’s feels great to be back. :)
Aww sparky I’m sorry but look on the bright side maybe they’ll bring you a souvenir back from their trip! :)
That must have been so embarrassing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Poor Sparky. Maybe something really good will happen at Uncle Arte’s. – WolfieWard
Yeah, but they are delicious! I always feel bad for them, too, so you’re not the only one! And they are really pretty, too.
