Dinner Party

You’re having a party

Your driveway is full of cars

The street in front of your house is full of cars

It’s awesome

Unless half of them belong to people who live in the house and

The rest belong to your mom and a couple of cousins

Who each drove over alone

Your son requires three plates for dinner

It’s awesome

Unless

One was used for the crusts from his sister’s pizza

One for a handful of olives and

One for a half cup of leftover macaroni and cheese

Then

All we are celebrating is modern excess and
Mess
