Grateful: for our family's thriving self-image

Thank God the names are on these place cards. How else would we know who they belong to?

You won't find mine here. My hands were too greasy from wrestling my mother for the turkey wing. Rest assured, my turkey was totally descked out with a sparkly waddle, huge silver earrings and long lashes. My boy knows me. Too well.

My mom. Also fancy.

My brother. He's an engineer, so that's probably one of those wacky calculators with a hundred buttons those nerds use.

My dad. With a cane. Not because he has one but because Lil E thinks being old(ish) is hilariiiiii.Kids! I mean,if he really wanted to be funny, he should have drawn his AARP card, a hearing horn and a bowl of Jello under the wing.

Annnnd,who could this freakish fowl art represent?

Of course! This kid.

Where did he come from?

I swear the strange-turkey DNA did not come from me.
