Ive just got home after a really fun afternoon at my inlaws, but I must admit that a certain game of pass the parcel took an odd turn. For starters my mothering in law used a ticking toy bomb for a timer. It is used in anther game usually. Why not use just use Christmas music ?
The second oddity came when my sister in laws husband threw the parcel at me hitting me on the chin quite hard. He wasnt laughing. When asked why he did it he replied he didnt know why, but it felt good ! Weird. When I threw some screwed up paper at him in " jest " a few minutes later it hit him in the face, but he showed no emotion at all, nor a flinched. He has always been robotic in a worrying sense. I see serial killer every time we meet....
Later the parcel slipped out of several peoples hands during the game. My mothering in law said its the worm inside. When no one reacted she said it again. What a horrible thought. I was rather rattled by it.
A fun afternoon with some very odd moments.
Ive also noticed that my sister emotionally unsettles me before crushing me in a card game. Its a double whammy and I dont like it one bit. It makes twice as annoyed when I loose. She is visiting this Christmas day so no doubt there will be much to post about...lol
The comment about the worm certainly is strange! This mirrors something in our class discussion today that was part of the weekly questions we have to answer:
ReplyDelete" . . .no matter what we do, there is some canker, there is a worm in the bud somewhere, there is something which dooms us to perpetual frustration, whether it be human beings whom we must exterminate or impersonal forces against all effort is useless."
Thats creepy...
DeleteWhat exactly did your mother in law mean by "the worm?"
DeleteShe was suggesting that was the reason the parcel slipped out of several peoples hands. Having started reading Dracula I see a story by Stoker called The Lair of the White Worm. Ive seen the film.
