Anyway, someone noticed that we'd eaten our pizza with our fingers and I commented that that was very American of us - yes British people really do eat pizza with a knife and fork (sometimes at least). This led to a comment about E5N1 being American - which in turn led to him saying, "Did I come with the Pilgrims?"
It turns out that he has been learning about the first Thanksgiving*. When you read it to yourself (or out-loud - who am I to judge?), say each of the words that E5N1 has written in as if you are revealing a great mystery - that's how he read it to me!
* Please note that this traditional telling is not necessarily entirely true.
Our "tradition" (to be honest it's what the cook wanted when we added kids to the family) is a trip out to a Chinese buffet. Pizza is our Sunday night tradition, handed down from my parents to my children.
ReplyDeleteI love the way these things develop and eventually take on a life of their own. Not unlike the way you can find yourself writing a blog post every day for nearly six years!
