Y'know... it kinda sucks that there's no Thanksgiving Day in France. Sure, I know the holiday's some bullshit about pilgrims and indians, but nobody ever tried to wake me up before noon--well, 'cept for the new munchkins--and I'd get a ton of turkey and go back to bed feeling fat.

The fuck is Thanksgiving? I keep hearing you Americans and Canadians talk about it, but what the fuck is it?

[cdconspeeddial]

[She laughs.]

It's some weird history lesson. The first story I learned was when the pilgrims came over on the Mayflower, they tried to kick the Indians off their land but then everyone kind of agreed on a truce and shared food and got fat.

But I really think it's just people celebrating the harvest. Or something. Who knows, history class was my naptime.

... Americans are weird.

[cdconspeeddial]

Damn straight.

What, Americans only?

[cdconspeeddial]

That's what I thought. ...maybe others...?

[investigatingly]

No, I mean-what if people who aren't American want to get sandwiches, too?

[cdconspeeddial]

[Oh LOL. She waves a hand.]

Then come eat sandwiches with me!

L'action de grace.

That is the French version, if you were wondering. It's celebrated mostly in Canada, the second Monday of October.

...October? Whoa. But why does Canada celebrate it?
