Writing Comp #3- Thanksgiving

11Sep09

I remember one year during thanksgiving my mom got sick and we really didn’t have any plans. My dad was at work and I still wanted there to be a holiday dinner. My mom already went shopping and everything was ready to be made for a holiday dinner for four. I was all up to me. My mom sick in bed would give me all of the instructions in between blowing her nose and sneezing. I would have to be her “body.” I started with the turkey. I had to take it out of all of its packaging and then clean it. I had never done this before and I was sure that I was going to mess it up. I pulled out all the giblets and ran the cold meat under the faucet. At first I spilled water all over the floor, but after a while I actually got it. I think moved on to the stuffing and other side dishes. After a couple of hours I was done. I had done it, I officially saved Thanksgiving and the four of us sat and ate.
