Cheers Team Tiny Peppers here it is my last post as promised. I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving. We almost never do traditional Turkey and fixings at Thanksgiving, I mean we have, but we like to change it up. This year we had a lovely Pot Roast. There is something that we always do at Holiday Family Meals, and that is Best & Worst. If you were at our Thanksgiving table and were the first to finish your meal we would ask you to begin the evenings Best & Worst. It started as only that, but we have added Funniest, and What you Learned. It’s a wonderful way to get people talking and enjoy each others company. So here’s how it works. The first person to finish is automatically nominated to begin. They must tell aloud to the people at the table the most recent, Best thing that’s happened to them, Worst thing that’s happened to them, something they learned, and the funniest thing that’s happened to them. Then they get to choose the person who goes next, and so on, and so on until everyone has had a turn. The only rule is you cannot repeat something someone else said. So if someone says their best is getting together for this family dinner, no one else can use that as their best. Theoretically that doesn’t mean this family dinner can’t be someone else’s worst if your family is snarky like that. LOL You get the picture. So I’ll start… Best: Having Thanksgiving day off from work. I work in a restaurant and I almost always work the holidays. This year I was very lucky to have it off. Worst: I was sick on my days off right before the holidays and got nothing accomplished. 😦 What I learned: I learned that a Slow Moving Loris can kill you in seconds with a toxic bite that causes anaphylaxis in a certain percentage of humans. Unfortunately, you don’t know if you are in that percentage until it’s too late.
Funniest: Attempting to squeeze our little Michaels cart between a lady who was at the register and the narrow pathway of the isle on Black Friday as we were making our canvas score. When I realized it was going to brush against her as I squeezed by.. I said I hope you don’t mind if I shave off a little of your behind as I go by. Everyone behind the counter erupted in laughter. It was pretty funny. I wasn’t serious, and I was hoping she would try to scooch in more, and I think she did, but she was laughing too.
So now..it’s your turn. I nominate you. Please tell me your best, worst, funniest, and what you learned recently. I can’t wait to hear.
thinking, thinking 🤔

I’ll wait patiently. giggles. It’s always hard when you’re the first one cause you haven’t had time to think. 🙂

I hesitated because I can’t think of the funniest thing (though I remember laughing out loud at something I saw on fb), or something I learnt. And I think that’s sad! Not just that my memory is going ha ha but that I need to work those things into my day/week!
The best and worst things were both that I spent a few days at a beach house. Best – it used to be my happy place so it was nice to be here. Worst – I didn’t sleep well, can’t escape myself and anxiety, and the smoke…

I struggle sometimes coming up with things and that’s why we changed it to recently because sometimes you need a broader scope. 💚💜 thank you so much for sharing. You are the only one so far. 🙂
