November/Thanksgiving at the dorm - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

'80sSitcoms · 11-19-2018, 11:54 AM

Happy November! Happy Thanksgiving Month!

And boy, wouldn't you love to be at the dorm for Thanksgiving Day*---being with "our girls", and Mrs. Garrett whipping up a feast that would make Martha Stewart green with envy.

Roast turkey, seasoned stuffing, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce**, homemade rolls with butter, pumpkin pie, mmmmmm...any other culinary requests for Mrs. Garrett for this Thanksgiving meal? (just don't ask for cheese dip, as we can't count on it making it to the table! haha)

And instead of stereotpyical (and boring, to me, lol) football, after dinner Nancy*** can go to the piano and accompany Molly, as Molly strums her little guitarette and shrilly belts out classic Thanksgiving carols "Jingle Bells" and "Over the River and Through the Wood" (yes, "Jingle Bells" is actually a Thanksgiving song, not a Christmas song! [I know! Isn't that fascinating??])

*(pretending for some odd reason that all the girls are in the dorm instead of with their families at home, lol---I know, a snowstorm! It could be a Thanksgiving blizzard!)

**(I don't know if I like cranberry sauce, but it's such a traditional Thanksgiving dish, lol)

***(in my fan universe I'm picturing Nancy as the pianist among the girls)

Thanksgiving with the Mother Hen Garrett and her brood at the dorm---I'm reserving a seat!

I called (and called and CALLED---Nancy had the line tied up with Roger, so it was very hard to get through!) and let them know there would definitely be 4 extra guests---me, you, Retro, and Lorimar, and they said the more the merrier!

Or, in this case, should I say, "the more the 'Blair'ier"?

I can't wait to come!

I was thinking blizzard as well

Smartboy · 11-20-2018, 12:10 AM

I will be happy to attend if I can sit next to Blair!

MA · 11-20-2018, 07:10 AM

I wonder who I'll be sitting next to.

'80sSitcoms · 11-20-2018, 12:56 PM

I call a seat across from Cindy and Molly!

At first I was going to say a seat "between" them, but then I realized I want to talk to them, and it's much easier for conversation to be face-to-face than side-by-side.

Lorimar Television · 11-20-2018, 08:03 PM

I call a seat across from Sue Ann

MA · 11-21-2018, 08:49 AM

I call Natalie!

Haha! The cheese dip!

*grabs a seat between Cindy and Sue Ann* I'm not going to try to yell across the table at a holiday this noisy! Why, there must be 10, 12 people!

We should leave space, too, for whoever else wants to join us.

RetroGuy2000 · 11-21-2018, 12:59 PM

And as a special Thanksgiving surprise, I have placed another script on the table in Tumpy's room. Just do the secret knock to get in...

Haha, it won't be that bad, lol.

Mrs. Garrett is going to be at the head of the table (with her back to her housemother's room), and I'm going to be by the corner of the table to her left (with my back to the 4th wall). Cindy will be near Mrs. Garrett (where she can keep an eye on Cindy's cheese-dip-rebelling self), and Molly beside right, so that way I'm across from them for conversation.

Blair can sit to my left.

Mr. Bradley can be at the other end of the table (the "foot" of the table? lol).

Yup, plenty of room!
