A Road Less Travelled

  Wednesday night dinner was not just any dinner at Lansberry’s. Wednesday night was an Upside-Down, Inside-Out and Backwards party. It was Raquel’s idea. The dining room was decorated with streamers around the floor, a bunch of balloons hanging down from the ceiling and all of the pictures were turned upside-down or sideways. There were “This Side Up” signs hanging around upside-down. We ate inside-out tacos (taco salad) and for dessert we had pineapple upside-down cake. All the Lansberry children were wearing their clothes inside-out and backwards. It was a lot of fun.

After dinner Raquel had some music to inflict on me. I mean, she had some music she wanted me to listen to. Harry Belafonte. I actually liked it. I ended up dancing in the kitchen with Moriah and Elsie. It was fun to be able to pass on the Kitchen Dancing tradition to another generation. When I was too tired to dance anymore I went and sat down to talk with Kathey. It was about this time that Samuel B. came downstairs with a head wound and James was on the phone with his father trying to figure out what the water dripping into the upstairs bathroom meant. The Ben-Ezra’s figured that it was about time for us to take our chaos and our head wounds home with us. Seth walked Kathey home and the rest of moseyed on home.
