My tuition dollars at work

Things my son just taught me about Thanksgiving:
1. Pilgrims and fat turkeys came to America on a big boat.

2. On said boat, they all danced in a circle, and the turkeys said, "wobble, wobble." While actively being fat, apparently.

3. The Pilgrims wore glasses on the boat, as well as hats shaped like the letter "A."

4. They Pilgrims came to America in the first place because they were put in Time Out. (At the hand of...England? Wha? What are they TEACHING these kids?)

5. THE MOST AWESOME SONG IN THE HISTORY OF ANYTHING, EVER:
Mr. Turkey, Big and Fat from metalia on Vimeo.

Happy (early) Thanksgiving, everyone! UPDATE: I feel it is important to point out that at the end, when T stands up and says he's going to Time Out, he's talking about PILGRIM Time Out, not his own. Because as you can see, he didn't do anything wrong, and in fact DID SOMETHING AWESOMELY RIGHT. NAMELY, THE TURKEY SONG.

Charlie would like the lyrics to this song. Apparently our tuition does not pay for Thanksgiving education.

ADORABLE! And I see you broke your rule of taping your voice. Although I, too, hate to hear my voice recorded, I can assure you that in your case, it's an unwarranted concern.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Oooo, I'm seeing his mother's influence. Any day now, T will be bellying up to the karaoke bar to sing this one loud and clear. Total Eclipse of the Heart is so last season...

Seriously. T & Emily need to be betrothed. I can wrangle a dowry...

I didn't want to watch this at work, so as not to draw attention to the fact I was not indeed doing work, so I waited until I got home to watch the video and it was SO WORTH IT! SO CUTE!

JUST LIKE THAT!

Gobble Gobble! My ancestors were Pilgrims. Not Mayflower crew, but soon after. They came to escape religious persecution - which to a young child would be a time out! Great interpretation on his part. :) Have a great Thanksgiving.
