OMG. When I got through the first couple of lines, I thought this was going to be a group camp-out with everyone in campers for the weekend, eating deep-fried turkey outside on picnic tables. I actually thought that sounded like a great idea, and could be a lot of fun.
I did not see the two weeks of camper-prison-pen coming. That is truly insane. Please keep us posted on the family drama when nobody participates (or if they do!). |
SECOND -- I need to see this!!! |
So if you're declining, great! Why you're spending your time and energy stewing about this and trying to kick up sympathy and support on the Internet is beyond me.
You made the best choice for your family: own it. She sounds like a nutter. So what? World's full of nuts. |
The beauty of being a grown-up is that you can always say no.
But, as others have said, aunt should open up a business! How much energy does she have? |
This has got to be fake.
But can I just say, it actually sounds like the safest multihousehold Tgiving plan I've heard. If this is real, you should feel free to decline. |
Covid concentration camper camp! Aunt in the role of Nazi, you will celebrate and you will have fun! |
Sounds like family is really important to her. She must be lonely. |
I may consider this unless this is a really close family member's last thanksgiving because of a terminal illness (untreatable & non contagious). |
|
This is gold OP. Who wouldn't want to be in a family prison for two weeks before Thanksgiving.
Could be the plot of the next "Thanksgiving Vacation" movie, with Chevy Chase as the Uncle. |
Please play into this and get others to do it too! Start sending pics and dimensions of possible RV rentals to the whole group. Be sure to ask about internet hotspots in the remote area since so many of you will be working remotely from your pens.
In the end just tell her your dog tested positive and you're all quarantined at home. |
I would go. Seriously. We're going crazy here, and this sounds like just what we need to break the monotony. Can I join your crazy family? |
Is there any way you can leak this email on the internet because this is like Marney level bossiness. |
OMG YES PLEASE. Shitters fulll! |
No one is this crazy, but on the off chance that someone is...OP, we need you to go so that you can report back. |
