Stick the thermometer in the armpit

Thanksgiving was wonderful this year. It is every year, but this year we were in Paradise. In other words, at my parents spectacular home in St. George. It is much more like paradise in the summer but it was still heaven to be there for a few days.

Did you know that you're supposed to stick the thermometer in the turkey's armpit to get a correct temperature reading? Yep, turkey's have armpits. I learned something new.

At Thanksgiving dinner, the family gathered. 14 of us in all and I was at the ADULT TABLE!!! A miracle has occurred. In the past when a large group gathers for an occasion, there seems to just not be enough room at the big people table for little ole me.

The week before Thanksgiving, I asked my Mom a very important question.

Kellie: "Do I have to sit at the kids table this year?"

Mom: "Well there really isn't going to be a kids table."

Kellie: "Stop hedging the question. Will I be at the kids table?"

Mom: "There really isn't one."

Kellie: "Let me rephrase. Can I sit by you?"

I guess that you have to be detailed in your questions to get the answer you are looking for.
