Jingle's Reflections: Trip The Fan

Okay, first things first, I was officially bigger then the turkey this year! Last year I remember feeling a little scared that my whole family was really excited to get together and eat a bird that was bigger then I was. I mean, if they could do that – what would they do to little young me? But, this year that bird looked practically like a pigeon compared to me – ha! Take that you big turkey – gobble, gobble, gobble! However, I must say that I have a new found respect for Mr. Turkey. I kept hearing people say he did this trick called “Trip The Fan” which put everyone asleep when they ate his meat. I really wanted to see this happen, but guess what? Mr. Turkey put me asleep by just looking at him! The minute dinner was served he Trip The Fan’d me and I had to take a nap right away – I didn’t even get to eat any of him!

Before that though, I had a great Thanksgiving. I got all dressed up to go to Grandma’s house and wore my best bowtie. (Ha ha! Got you! I only have one bowtie!) When we got to Grandma’s house I was surprised to see a big box of blocks and a train to play with. I walked around the house on the train and said hello to all the people I hadn’t seen since summer time. And do you know what the best part about the party was? I’m starting to recognize people! I may be little, but I think that is something to be thankful for. Pretty soon I will know everyone and I won’t have to worry about walking into a room full of strangers staring at me. Because honestly, when that happens, I wish I could TripTheFan them like Mr. Turkey.
