(Thanksgiving)

"Beyoncé, get your big lazy ass up!" I heard my moms voice and I immediately opened my eyes.

"Why did I give her old ass a key again?" I mumbled to myself.

"Where is everything I told you to buy? Where's the potatoes & cornbread mix? OH LORD you don't even got the ham! What are we going to do !" Mama yelled up the stairs dramatically.

"Sol has the ham and the corn bread mix is in the cabinet!" I screamed back from the shower.

"Then you got poor Shawn in here slaving in the kitchen! Bring your ass down here!" She yelled again.

"Shawn, when the fuck did he get back?" I mumbled to myself and frowned.

~15 minutes later~

After I was done taking my shower I finally made my way down the stairs and my mothers mouth instantly opened.

"How are we gonna make potato salad with no potatoes ?" She yelled.

"Oh my god, we just won't make it." I said and rolled my eyes.

"Don't use gods name in vain." She said pointing a finger at me.

"That's right!" I heard Michelle say as she walked through the side door along with Kelly, Onika, and Sol.

"great." I mumbled and rolled my eyes.

They each hugged and greeted mama.

"I don't get no love?" Shawn said and they all greeted and hugged him but, not enthusiastically they didn't like him. They never did.

"Please tell me somebody brought some potatoes." Mama said looking through the bags.

"Nope, I thought Bey was supposed to get that?" Nika asked.

"She was, but she obviously can't handle a simple task. Now go run to the store and get some, Bey." Mama said.

"It's only 6am and it's thanksgiving! Ain't no stores open." I frowned.

"Find one." She said sternly.

I grabbed my car keys and brushed shoulders with Shawn mean mugging him slightly before leaving the house and getting into my car.

~35 minutes later~

I walked into Whole Foods to see a few people running to get last minute items.

I went to pick up a bag of potatoes and then into the freezer section to get some wine. It will be needed to get through this day.
