Brainstorm a Group Vacation

If I do it Janey’s way things might go okay. Are you serious? Remember the last time? That wasn’t the last time, that was three or four times ago. We have not had any trouble since right? What about the time Tim burned up all the food? What is wrong with you today? Did you take all your pills? I remember taking a pink one. Not sure about the white one. Do not want to double up. Get on board here. We are under a deadline. You are so bossy, just do it yourself. You do not listen to my ideas anyway. Your ideas are my ideas. What about Roger’s plan for each of us to put the same amount into the gas fund? How is that fair? I do almost all of the driving. I should get to slide on that one. I hate this stupid group vacation anyway. I did not marry the neighbors. Right? How did I ever get talked into this yearly idiocy? What would Roger say if I refused to put in the money? It would not be worth it. Maybe I will bail on caravan day, and stay here. By myself, not hearing all their stupid stories. Stories I hear every year, the same old stupid stupid stupid stories. You better get out of this mood. Here comes Harry. He will ask you about those pills again. I am not even going! You are too. I am not. But I know I will go. I always do.

I love the way you create these little "snapshot" scenes... so true-to-life! ;)

The contest rules said brainstorm as if you are brainstorming, so I thought with myself or others or others and myself? I always like these contests as they make me think in new ways.

Yes, planning a trip can bring out the worst in family members! Janice

Planning a house together can be pretty horrible too, Janice. Thank you for the stop by.
