An amazing and mystical coincidence today at the Cookie Exchange. 25 or 30 middleclass lookalike matrons, all dressed in expensive Christmas sweaters with gold candycanes and wreaths in their ears, bearing precious beribboned baskets of cutely wrapped cookie baggies tied with shiny bows, standing around with Christmasy mugs of hazelnut coffee and Nutcracker Suite Tea and one woman starts talking about noises in her attic and how she set a trap and caught a POSSUM! Everyone gasped in horror and went, "Oh,no!". I started laughing and snorted coffee on the woman next to me. Everyone looked at me. Do NOT try to explain to a group of strange women that you have been spending days obsessing on the topic of possums with people you don't know online. It doesn't translate well at all. I fear this was my last invitation to the Annual Cookie Exchange.
