"You sit under a table and eat twelve grapes?" Theo asked in reply, shaking his head at the other. He had never heard that before, but then again different people did different things to ring in the new year. He nursed a bottle of beer in front of, taking a sip from the cold glass bringing it to his lips before setting it back down. He was excited for the new year, leaving behind old wounds and looking forward to new memories. "I don't know, thankfully I don't think grapes are high on the list of causing too much stomach discomfort. But hey it's possible."
"Yep, within a minute. My kiddo stressed that part." Though Sera was thinking it was more so a specific challenge than a hard rule. It didn't really take away from her confusion on the matter, but hey, it was one of the safest things a teen could do to ring in the new year. Taking a sip of her wine, she regarded the blond for a moment. "Yeah, true. If anything, she'll probably end up sticking to the sidelines. And are you participating in the plunge tomorrow?"
Who: Open (5/5) Where: Evolution for the NYE party
"So, does anyone know of that tradition where you sit under a table and eat twelve grapes at midnight on New Year's?" Sera asked, to almost no one in particular. The holiday itself had always brought out mixed emotions for her, emotions she now chose to drown in good company and good drinks. And the discussion of a rather ridiculous holiday tradition. "Because my dear, sweet child, in all her innocence, said she was going to ring in the new year with her friends by doing that, in under a minute. What are the chances I'll be tending to a very upset stomach from a very upset teenager tomorrow during the Polar Plunge?"
Who: Open Where: Evolution, NYE 2024
Two reasons why Tinder was shit on New Years eve, 1. way too many options in the greater Merrock area (and the most depressing, seeing her old English teacher who she swore she saw leaving Church like, two weeks ago. Very much seemingly still married) 2. the freaks. "Look — look at this. This shit's not normal is it? Why is this the third person dressed like Elphaba from Wicked, and watch..." she left swiped quickly, "Nosferatu? No one actually wants to get laid do they?"
Sera had never had any interest in online dating, which was certainly to her daughter's relief. Which was perhaps a blessing and a curse, as it seemed the whole world revolved around meeting potential dates almost exclusively online. So, when she happened to spot the other's Tinder scrolling, she couldn't help but indulge her nosier side.
"No, none of that is normal." Sera replied, shaking her head in amusement. "But I do think they're actually looking to get laid. And there's someone out there that's either curious enough or crazy enough to give it a shot."
Seraphina Pollard attends the NYE party at Evolution on December 31st, 2024.
Sera had drug out this number from the depths of her closet, usually choosing to avoid her more body-con dresses. Wearing a pair of beige peep-toe heels, the only jewelry she chooses is some stacked gold bracelets, a slim purse, and her purple biker jacket, worn entirely for show, rather than warmth.
I don't know what I was thinking when I decided that I would join the crowds of people doing Elf on the Shelf, not to mention I bought one for each of the kids -- because it doesn't matter how old they are, everyone deserves to believe in a little bit of magic. Or at least play along but when I say these elves have been stressing me out, it's an understatment. Someone send wine and yummy food to soothe myself while I spend another night googling cute creative ideas for these damn elves. And yes, I may be complaining but I'm secretly loving every minute of it. Please someone tell me they have ideas or are doing this for their own kids? @merrock
Oh, man, I remember doing those for Dana for the longest time. It broke my heart the day she asked me to put the elf away, at the ripe old age of ten. So now I use it in my classroom. There's a Grinch version of Elf on the Shelf that I pull out as well. I should probably not feel as much amusement as I do at the little 'nooooo's that I get when the kids come into my classroom in the morning or after recess if they've been misbehaving that day.
