Dear hubby
Thanksgiving dinner at hubby's sister's place, and she has this idea that we go around the table with everyone talking about what they are thankful for... okay, so lets start with the kids. Her daughter: I am thankful for my family, food, books and wii... See, thats a girl thing. They really appreciate all this stuff that guys don't even notice till they like retire and have grandkids. Her son: Wii, umm... and yeah family. Kiddo's turn and she thinks it will be nice to simplify 'thankful' for him. She: So, what do you like the most? What makes you very happy? Kiddo: (without a pause) OBAMA! That ends the ritual there and then. Me thinking - I am thankful for my hubby. Because I don't have to be embarassed in situations like this. Everyone knows these are dear hubby's genes showing. I don't think she will try the ritual next year and just let them go direct to the food.
