the history of thanksgiving poorly told

a few days back I tried explaining to my nanni what thanksgiving was.  it was hard.  it went kind of like this.

on thursday everyone has off from work and schools are closed.  ( i couldnt come up with a word for holiday) and everyone goes to their family's home and has a big dinner.  there is a special (khaas) kind of food made of something similar to chicken but bigger.

i felt like i did a bad job and so i tried again.  but of course my limited vocab made me repeat all the same stuff again. saying nonsense twice doesn't make it make any more sense.

And finally:

Three weeks to chill.
An entire years worth of fasting.
Oh if I could only go back,
Around the date of the incident,
A little chopping and cutting of bad people.

Later when boredom sets in,
Fill in any school related word.
Must practice sleeping on flannel sheets!
I have flannel balls stuck to me.
Serious problems getting the straw in the thing.
