They Are Not In Concert With Your Dinner Plans
(My family is eating Thanksgiving Dinner. We’ve said grace and have been eating for about five minutes, little clusters of us all engaged in different conversations over the meal, when my aunt speaks up.)
Aunt: “All right, everyone!”
(We quiet down, expecting her to have some kind of announcement.)
Aunt: “Your first assigned topic is to discuss your first concert. [My Father], you go first!”
(We all stare at her blankly for a moment.)
Aunt: *more forcefully but with overzealous cheer* “[My Father], what was the first concert you attended?”
(My dad eyed her confusedly, before going back to discussing a recent golf game with my uncle while my aunt scanned the group with an expectant smile on her face. None of us ended up participating in our “assigned topic discussion.”)
