"Okay you guys know the drill. What we do today will be the most important thing we do all year." My dad says gravely, "Once we go inside there is no going back . Remember, don't reveal your items, keep them hidden. We go in pairs of three and be come back here until 12pm. Do not let anyone steal what's yours. If you see any violence, you get your shit and run the hell out of there! Understood?"
We all nod at my father. All 12 of us are gathered around in a circle standing I front of the mall whose doors are about to open. "Every one synchronize your watches. Do the honors Victoria. " he says.
I stand up straighter and say, "Alright everyone hands in! On the count of three- one... two.. KILL!!" we split into our teams and right on queue the doors open. I grab my older Vince and my cousin Pete and run inside.
As soon as we enter, it's chaos, it's beautiful!! We run into the first stores we see and go on from there. Our fourth stop is the electronics, I grab a PS3, some video games, and purchase a gift card. As I grab my bags, I hear yelling behind me turning around I see two men fighting over an Xbox. Taking a closer look I see one of the men is my uncle Rob. You have got to be kidding me!
Okay, Victoria remember the rules: help a family member in distress. I move through the crowd and swiftly punch the other guy in the stomach as hard as I can. He clutches his stomach and falls to the floor. "This better be worth it." I tell my uncle without giving him time to respond I run out of the store and catch up to Vince and Pete.
"Holy shit Vic! That was some force you packed in that punch. Remind me to never get on you bad side." says Pete. I laugh and take a look at my watch. "We still have I few hours. So lets get a move on."
"Oh sweet potato! I can hardly breathe." I muster all the energy can and walk to the parking lot. Vince is over reacting and drags his bags on the ground, leaning on Pete for support. We reach the cars and see that Patricia, her brother Robbie, and our cousin Leo are already there. We don't say anything but we all know what we are thinking.
We hear howling and chanting, we look over and see it's my dad, his brother uncle Rob, and mom's brother Uncle Jared. They are skipping-that's right SKIPPING to the car with smiles on their faces. "Now we're just missing Lea, Carlos and uncle Jim." say Robbie.
"You kids go ahead. We''ll wait for them. Go back to the house.and help your aunts with the kids." say Uncle Jared.
We get our stuff and leave in separate cars. Once we get to the house we wrap our items in duct tape, write our names in sharpie, and hide them. We take Black Friday very seriously in this family.
