Take Care of the Servants Day



Boxing Day, 2013

     Whether you are in a country where this official holiday is observed, servants receive presents from their employers, or not, you can have the day off, as far as I am concerned. I am celebrating by giving my Self a gift of not working, day to relax, sleep late and spend oodles of time with my family. Cousins who don’t get to visit frequently take off sledding, after the scrumptious meal of home spun raviolis, made way to the nearest bowling alley for some fun.
    The adults drink wine and catch up on humorous stories about work. One woman has a part-time job at the local dry cleaners and we rolled around the room, cackling until our sides ache. Poor Mrs Hussey was the brunt of our cheer, who suffers from terrible incontinence, bringing in her stained pant to be laundered. As if the teen girl behind the counter could relate to a sneeze attack followed by urinating in her drawers. The employee had the look of terror on her face as she took in the damaged slacks. This led to countless customer tales of odd stains and horrific accidents due to loose bowels or uncontrollable vomiting spells. Remind me never to apply for work at a dry cleaning establishment. I would be chortling all day and never want to leave the front counter, not even for a bathroom break.
