FIMM's Thanksgiving Guest Etiquette

Episode 126: FIMM's Thanksgiving Guest Etiquette Apparently FIMM didn't get the memo, or more specifically, my blogpost from yesterday where I shared Thanksgiving Guest Etiquette.  FIMM arrived about twenty four hours early for Thanksgiving Dinner at his mother-in-laws house with Bonnie, all 5 screaming quintuplettes and his cousin Albert.  FIMM was sure he heard Bonnie's mom invite them all over to stay the weekend!  Apparently what he heard was that Bonnie's cousin and his family were invited to stay over!  They were all hungry because they hadn't had lunch yet. Bonnie's mom was a bit unprepared for all of them to eat lunch.  She was still pretty busy preparing for Thanksgiving, but was gracious enough to scrounge up some food for them all and to prepare the only other room in their tiny house for all EIGHT of them to sleep in.  Bonnie was pretty busy with the five babies and while Cousin Albert did his best to help, FIMM placed himself on the couch watching the games, unaware that Bonnie's mom might need some help.  When he realized he should make himself useful, he decided to give Bonnie's mom the gift he had brought for her as a thank you for having them.  It was a Thanksgiving food craft.  Unfortunately, no matter how FIMM encouraged Bonnie's mom to make it with him, she was unwilling to break away from her Thanksgiving tasks.  FIMM was very understanding and decided to go back to watching the games on TV.  It's going to be a looooong weekend! ============================================= Don't be a FIMMpersonator!  Click here to read through the FIMM Archives and to view FIMM's video!
