Apparently, the other sister called last night (she wasn't involved in the fight at all) and confirmed exactly what had happened. I KNEW my kids were telling the truth! I can always tell when they are exaggerating to make their side look better or if they are telling the story accurately. Anyway, the other sister was amazed at the display her sister and nephew put on. She said that Jay was so stoned out of his head that you can even tell in the photos. I won't even comment on my feelings over the fact that he drove himself to the session while high as a kite.

The SIL who screamed at my girls is supposed to be having Christmas Eve at her house and neither of the girls want to go. I never wanted to go because
A) she's a lousy cook but thinks she's Julia Childs, and we'll end up stopping at McDonalds on the way home (isn't MickyD's your idea of a wonderful Christmas Eve meal?)
B) her dog pees wherever he wants, and SIL doesn't even try to properly potty train him
C) There are no seats in the house. We all sit on the floor or lean against walls. I'm NOT sitting on a pee spot!
And now
D) I don't want to fight, not on Christmas Eve.

Personally I would bring a chair and plonk myself in the middle of the floor and sit there throughout and then say right gang you still hungry Micky D's it is then as you were leaving but then thats just me I can be very outspoken.

I would just love to be a fly on the wall for that one just to see the reaction as for this Jay guy if I knew where he would be at a certain time and I would be pretty sure he would be stoned and about to drive home or somewhere else I would telephone the police and get them to pull him over it would be worth it just for the satisfaction of knowing he got what was coming to him.

So just keep us informed of the goings on would love to know the outcome of the Christmas Eve or build up to it.....
