Teenagers are known for their interesting quality of randomness. Seeing as how I meet the "qualifications", I have great experience with such qualities, and have been known to exhibit them myself. However, even extremely scheduled parents(like mine) can sometimes get out of the groove. Today was a crazy example. So tomorrow, I'm leaving for Florida to celebrate Thanksgiving with my mom's side of the family. (Don't worry. My grandparents are not afraid of technology, and I'll be able to use their computer to continue posting interesting stories for your enjoyment:)) I was talking to Kassie about it, and I asked about her plans. Unfortunately, she was going to end up spending Thanksgiving alone! I was like, "That's awful!". She seemed disappointed, but content to drive somewhere for the occasion. After we hung up, I told my mom about it, and she was like, "That's so sad!". Then my brother spoke up, "She can go to that lady's house!".(A friend of ours from church is opening her home to anyone who is alone or wants to be with friends on Thanksgiving.) But we were like, "She's not going to know anyone there." And then I said the magic words, "You know, it would be really cool if she could come to Florida with us.". That, surprisingly, started everything! My mom got into the idea and my brother got excited. We called my granny and she said, "The more the merrier!". And my dad gave us the thumb's up. So I called Kassie back and the following....followed:
J: So we have a little proposition for you. We know it's only one day and we'll be gone five, but we wanted to know if you would like to come to Florida with us?
K: You're serious?
J: Yes.
K: YOU'RE serious?
J: YES, Kassie.
K: YOU'RE SERIOUS?
J: YES! Totally serious!
K: That's awesome!
J: I know! Now you know we're leaving tomorrow, right?
K: I don't care! Let's go!
And so it all played out. Her mom said it was ok, and she started packing. And tomorrow morning at 6:15AM, we'll meet her at the tennis courts halfway between our house, pack her stuff into the minivan, pile in till we're packed in like sardines, and set off into the sunset...well, sunrise in our case. Now if that's not completely random, I don't know what is.
