Vivian: Tell them what you know about the Pilgrims

MIdge: I don't know anything about them AND VIVIAN IS GIVING ME A FACE!!!

Vivian: Do you want me to talk about..

Midge: THE PILGRIMS sailed on the Mayflower... a boat. I forget where they came from. But I remember the king didn't want them to go to their own church. He made them go to HIS church... but they couldn't go to their own church. So they said "well, then. We're going to go to a different planet called the USA!" They sailed and they had to eat fish and drink sea water... Uh Uh, I couldn't imagine that... for dessert they had fish with whipped cream on it!!! They found more fish and more water. Then they found this little land called the USA!!! They builded houses and made a community... Then they found Indians. I forget what they are called

Vivian: Wompanoag tribe

Midge: So they helped the Pilgrims do planting and how to build these awesome houses. They teached them how to get animals.

Vivian: They were extremely helpful to the pilgrims. SO they had a feast to thank them.

Midge: FEAST of Thanksgiving...

Vivian: Actually they did not have turkey.

Midge: They had T U R K E Y

Vivian: No, they didn't have turkey. I think they had deer and wild berries

Midge: Actually they had TURKEY LEGS!!!! The Indians didn't start Thanksgiving until December but we celebrate it today in November. I forget if they got to go to their own church in America.

Vivian: They started their own church.

Midge: I'm thankful for my pets.

Grandma: Are you thankful for your mom and dad?

Midge: Yup. I'm thankful for MY PETS! and my French Toast and for my turkey that I'm going to consume. I'm thankful for Christmas because I like Christmas BETTER!!
