My mom took me to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade when I was 4, and it is one of the most miserable childhood memories I have. It wasn't fun, that was the year that there was supposed to be a Sonic the Hedgehog float but something happened to it so I was even LESS enthusiastic, I was bored and freezing, and the first time my mom asked me if I wanted to go home, I said yes. :smith:

We talked about it yesterday (31 years later) and my mom was like, "I didn't know you hated it, you were so quiet!" and I explained to her that I was more frozen & bummed out than tantrum-ly enraged. "It wasn't like [least favorite uncle's first wife's] wedding [at which I, age 6, literally hysterically cried during the entire ceremony] or anything," I elaborated, at which point she completely understood.

edit: Uh, well, I feel pretty innocent here. My family's various scandals aren't really things that CAN come up during holidays.

may I have the story behind that wedding?

She was a total bitch and I hated her. :shrug: When I was more grown up (when they were LONG divorced), I found out that basically everyone except my groom uncle was feeling exactly how I was feeling, and they were somewhat jealous that I could express it so openly.

In hindsight it was great pretty much saying what everyone was thinking, but crying that long is tiring as hell
