We sat in a circle while we were instructed to give our first name plus and adjective that described us, starting with the letter of our first name. For example, I was sitting next to Nice Nora and to my left was Lovely Lisa. Nora was nice but Lisa was not so lovely. Our leader was last and she said her name was Mischievous Marilyn, and she was. Mischievous Marilyn had diamond shaped glasses and enough flab under her arms to cover a small baby but don’t let that fool you. She was a bully. A bully in the nicest way because you didn’t even realize you were being bullied until you were handing over your check to her. She preyed on us crazy housewives to buy her Tupperware. First of all, I think I was the only one who actually didn’t want to be there. All the other crazy housewives seemed so thankful to be out of the house that they would of accepted an invitation to a pick-your-own-casket party if given the chance. Did you even know they still sell Tupperware? Well they do and I should have three lovely pieces delivered to my house soon. I swear, Mischievous Marilyn could have sold you air. She was a smooth talker with a smile. I couldn’t help but feel like she was nicer than my own grandmother. She was so good that this year will mark her 32-year of selling the stuff. Does anyone really need a Tupperware container just for cauliflower? Well three women at the party did. I don’t even eat cauliflower but Mischievous Marilyn almost talked me into buying one. As I shamelessly placed my order, she grabbed my arm, and asked me if next Wednesday would be a good time to host my own party. I laughed but she was serious. The little old lady even pulled out her palm pilot to pencil me in. I don’t think I had ever seen an old lady with a palm pilot. Anyway, I pride myself off of my ability to be frank and not get suckered into things but with Mischievous Marilyn, you’d do anything for her and she’d lead you into believing she was doing a favor for you. I did say no but she told me she’d call me tomorrow to set up a date. The fun part about Mischievous Marilyn was that she got us to play these games. Of course the games involved writing down things in our pantry that needed organizing but if you won, you got a nice orange peeler. Did you know they made such a product just for peeling oranges? Well they do and I ‘m the proud owner of one. One lucky but crazy mother got a key chain because she wrote down 13 food products that could be placed into the “FreezeSmart Starter Set.” Damn, I was so close! I’m not sure if it was the free food, the games, or the gifts, but by the end it seemed like we were all drunk. Mischievous Marilyn had fooled us into thinking we were all happy organized housewives. Well if we weren’t already, she could make us in 7-10 business days.
