You can smell your aunt, who always wears too much perfume, from across the room. She is wearing her hair in a fancy up-do and bright, flash jewelry. Way too overdressed for a simple family Thanksgiving at Grandma’s house.
Eventually it’s time to eat. You can see all of the mouth watering food sitting right in front of you. You begin to dig in after an insanely long prayer is said. You take some hot turkey from the plate, along with some of dad’s mashed potatoes and some corn.
