Quote of the Day: Carolyn Hax Chat
From the chat on 12/15/06:
Boston, Mass.: Carolyn!
I've been waiting ALL YEAR to tell you this! Remember last year when someone said their family clapped after each gift was opened? And we all thought it was hilarious and strange?
Well, last year, I told my (large) family about the clapping, and they were highly amused. They decided we should do it, too, but NOT tell my brother. So we started applauding every time someone opened a present. At first he looked really, really confused, but then he joined in as if it were completely normal. It took about 1/2 an hour before he finally stopped and said "Ok WHAT is with the G-D CLAPPING?! Are you people DRUNK?"
So, thanks to the 'nut who provided last year's holiday entertainment!
Carolyn Hax: There's nothing like an innocent victim to bring out a gag's true potential. Thanks for sharing.
