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.
You`ll have fun I`m sure Sparky!!!!!
Maybe Arte will take Sparky out for Thanksgiving dinner at Chef Gazpacho’s. That would be pretty cool.
I knew it….
Oh Sparky I’m so sorry. I bet this is a major dissapointment to you. Well, maybe you and your Parents can go next year!
I have to say, it’s a bit unfair that Sparky’s parents are going away on Thanksgiving. Isn’t Thanksgiving about giving thanks for all you have? Why not go to the Tropical Island after Thanksgiving?
eewwww, the pumpkin pie from the W Shop is soggy?????
what?! not fair. just make cereal while your at it! lol happy tgiving!!
lol! ur right!!!! aw poor sparky though….. happy thnxgiving!!!
Oh, Sparky, my heart goes out to you, brotha… I don’t want to sound like I’m downsizing your parents’ anniversary, but why would they choose Thanksgiving to get married in the first place?? And at least they ought to move their vacay until after Thanksgiving. I feel so bad for you; I love Thanksgiving, and I don’t know what I’d do if my parents weren’t there!
I find this pretty selfish of them to do their anniversary on Thanksgiving Day. Could they not have left Friday morning and had a romantic weekend at the island? Thanksgiving is about being with family and being thankful. Sorry just my opinion.
awww, poor sparky. but don’t underestimate your uncle so quickly, i bet you’ll end up having a great time!
