Which saying did you have in mind?

[byweavinglives]

I was hoping to hear them all.

[cold_dry_pieces]

They say blood is thicker than water.

[byweavinglives]

I like that one.

[primrosella]

Did you, er...not want a fancy dinner for Thanksgiving, then, Miss Saya?

[byweavinglives]

I don't mind it.

[primrosella]

Oh, good. I'd been hoping to have one again, just like we do every year, but if you'd preferred we didn't I would've gladly thought of something else.

[byweavinglives]

I'll go upstairs if I get tired of the noise.

[misterblackbird]

There are quite a few sayings about family.

[byweavinglives]

And your favorite?

[misterblackbird]

I suppose I'm rather partial to 'blood is thicker than water'.

[byweavinglives]

It's popular.

[intheblanks]

'When our relatives are at home, we have to think of their good points or it would be impossible to endure them'.

Did your sister have a different background to you?

[byweavinglives]

Yes. She was raised in America by her mother.

I like that saying.

[intheblanks]

Thought so. An American wouldn't talk about people with an American background celebrating what they do. They assume everyone's just like them.

'You can't choose your family.'

[There's a pointed pause]

And where do you think I'm from, then?

That's true.
