My DIL grabbed from me a tray of jello in little containers that I saw in the fridge and was giving out to the children. Okay. Let me start at the beginning. The grand twins wanted their 4th Birthday party at my house and this took place yesterday. Everyone worked hard and when I reached home all was going well in full swing. We then did the cake thingie and sang and then all 30 of them ate curried chicken, rice and coleslaw. This was after the hot dogs, BBq chicken wings, doughnuts and crisps etc and gallons of drink. A little later, they then had the cake and ice cream. Now, I was feeling that I had not done anything to help and so whilst they were eating the ice cream I went into my fridge to take out the little jelly containers that I saw my DIL make the night before. Oh, I thought, they have forgotten to serve these little Jello containers to the children. So I decided to help and this is where I went wrong. I had just distributed the Jello to some of the children when the DIL saw what I was doing and she actually.must to my amazement, sprinted over some chairs in the garden to get to me. She hurtled over them at a great speed you would have thought she was in the Olympics. Without missing a beat she swooped up from the children the containers of Jello. They did not look happy. She then grabbed hold of my arm with one hand the tray of jello's in the other and almost frog marched me inside the house. I was shocked at her behaviour. Inside the house I saw tears streaming down her face and between whoops of laughter, she managed to tell me that they were not for the children as they were Jello shots. Excuse me what are Jello shots? Still confused. She then offered me one. I don't like Jello I said. I don't want it. Swallow it on one gulp she said. So, just because I am polite, I did so. It was when the impact of the vodka hit the pit of my stomach that I realized that the Jello had been liberally laced with vodka! I made these for the adults, she said, because it will help us to cope with over thirty children and a dozen adults. Do not give them to the children! Suitably chastised I went outside to join the children and we had a dance contest but I did not win a lollipop. Even though, with the help of two Jello shots, was convinced that I had performed some of my best moves. I really need to get out more. Tell me- did you know what a Jello shot is?
