Thanksgiving

Well, another year, another Thanksgiving gorge-fest.  I think we are all so incredibly stuffed full we feel like barfing, but at least Madeleine found a way to work off all her extra calories:





Speaking of Madeleine, a few nights ago she became the world's youngest vegetarian based on ethical reasons.

MADELEINE: Mama?  Are we NOT gonna have a turkey on Thanskgiving?
ME: No, Daddy bought a turkey, so he's gonna cook it.
MADELEINE: Well Mama, I don't want to eat any turkey, because it makes me SAD to hurt animals!


However, one taste of turkey tonight totally changed her tune.  In fact, Madeleine even asked for seconds.  That's right, my child asked for seconds of her protein source.  It could have only been more Bizarro-world if she had asked for seconds of her vegetable.

When I put Madeleine to bed this evening, she still had turkey on the brain.

ME: Madeleine, did you have a good Thanksgiving?
MADELEINE: Mmm-hmmm!
ME: What was your favorite part?
MADELEINE: The TURKEY!  Yummy yum!

So, Madeleine is now a short-lived vegetarian converted to carnivore.  Sorry, turkeys of the world!
