A Thanksgiving Day Story...the way it really happened!
Waiting for our food to arrive at the table (a night out at David B's restaurant), Josh was intently scribbling away at his latest masterpiece.
"Watcha got there Josh?"
"I'm drawing the Mayflower, Dad."
"Really, what do you know about the Mayflower...did you learn about it in school today?"
"Yeah...Mrs. Communale said that the Pilgrim dude needed to build this boat to drive far away in so that he can read his Bible without being bothered by the guys in England...the Bible belonged to King James. Anyway, he sailed to America and met an Indian. The Indian thought his boat was really cool- especially the steering wheel! They became good friends and had a big party one day; the Indian brought over a turkey and taught the Pilgrim how to grow corn. Later that night, it started to get real cold, so the Pilgrim built a house for himself and King James...'cause he was coming over too because he wanted his Bible back. He put up an American flag on top of the house and went to bed because he was stuffed."
"That's one fine story there, son...did King James ever get his Bible back?"
"I don't know, Dad...when's our dinner coming? I'm starving!"
Happy Thanksgiving everyone...from the Eubank family, the Pilgrim dude, the Indian, and King James- who's still out looking for his Bible.
