"Come on man" Peter groaned
Reese shook his head
"You gotta wear the shirt.."
He shook his head feverishly,his hands moving quickly
"I know you hate button up shirts, please Reese?"
*********************************
Come on baby take a ride with me
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
*********************************
Reese pounded on Cleo's door
"well" Cleo chuckled,"Hello" she eyed Peter in his shirt and tie and Reese in his dirty t-shirt and shorts."I see who won the arguement"
He narrowed his eyes,handing her a bottle of wine
"Come on in Reese" Cleo signed,"You too"
Peter chuckled
***********************************
People know this world is a wreck
We're sick and tired of being politically correct
If I see through it now but I didn't at first
The hypocrites made it worse and worse
Lookin' down their noses at what people say
These are just words and words are okay
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
***********************************
"Food's almost done" Cleo called over her shoulder as she made her way to the kitchen
Reese grinned and ran towards the pile of toys in the middle of Cleo's living room
"Where'd you get those?" Peter asked
She turned around,"I've always had them"
He nodded,"I knew that"
"No you didn't" Cleo laughed,"Give me a hand?"

***********************************
He reached his hand into the pain,preparing to tear a piece of skin off the turkey
"I don't think so" Cleo slapped his hand
Peter raised an eyebrow,his tie now loosened around his neck."Thank you"
"Don't mention it" Cleo replied,she eyed him smugly."Sorry I didn't dress up like you.Me and Reese, we're two of a kind"
Peter eyed her tank top and sweat pants and chuckled."my bad.."
************************************
Racism lives in the U.S. today
Better get hip to what Martin Luther King had to say
I don't want my kids being brought up this way
Hatred to each other is not okay
Well I'm not a preacher just a singer son
But I can see more work to be done
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
***********************************
"Let's go wash your hands" Cleo signed,reaching down for Reese's hand
The little boy grabbed her hand and followed along side her to the bathroom
peter put the salad down on the table and let out a loud sigh.

*************************************
"I need your help Reese" Cleo stood by the door,watching him play with the suds
Reese pulled his hands away from the sink,bubbles flying everywhere
They both giggled.
"After you wash" Cleo signed,still laughing,bubbles in her curly hair
*************************************
*************************************
They both came out of the bathroom loudly, smiles that showed they shared a secret
Peter raised an eyebrow."Ready to eat?"
Cleo and Reese nodded."As soon as you carve the turkey Dr.Benton" Cleo gave a soft smile
He smiled back,"Ready little man?"
Reese nodded,grinning
"What's with him?" Peter asked
Cleo shrugged,slinging spoonfuls of mashed potatoes on their plates
"What's going on Reese?" he put the knife down and signed
Reese replied with a flourish of hands
Peter's eyes got wide
****************************************
Lay back the top and ride with me
I'm up from Indiana down to Tennessee
Everything is cool as can be
In a peaceful world
****************************************
"I think he got over excited"
Peter opened his eyes,looking up at Cleo and Reese looking down at him."We should eat.."
Cleo and Reese both looked at him suspicously
"She really wants to marry me?" he signed to Reese
The little boy nodded
Cleo crept behind him,encircling his waist with her arms. In her hand she held a small velvet box."Happy Thanksgiving"
"Why now?"
"So you wouldn't forget our anniversary" she laughed
*******************************************
The money's good and the work is okay
Looks like everything is rollin our way
'Til you gotta look the devil in the eye
You know that bastard's one big lie
So be careful with your heart and what you love
Make sure that it was sent from above
It's what you do and not what you say
If you're not part of the future then get out of the way
*******************************************
They crept quietly into the kitchen,carefully resting the dishes in the sink as Reese slept on the couch
"So the thing about turkey's true,huh?" Cleo smiled,leaning against the refrigator
Peter undid the cuffs of his sleeves and rolled them up to his elbows."You wanna get married"
Cleo nodded,"That was the plan.."
"I was going to.."
Her eyes got wide."You were going to propose?"
Peter shrugged,as the sink filled with suds and warm water.
"Peter!"Cleo dug her hand into the soap and flung someof it at him.She froze,waiting for his reaction

"My shirt.." his face was blank.Peter broke out into a grin and grabbed her around the waist
Cleo laughed,"Let me go.."
He held a handful of suds over her head
"no..Peter!"
"Maybe I was" Peter smashed the bubbles into her hair
Cleo narrowed her eyes,"Thanks.."
"My shirt"
"my hair!"
He looked at her and started to laugh. Cleo held onto the front of his shirt,unbuttoning the buttons."Let me go wash this"
"We'll wash your hair later" Peter replied,kissing her neck
"You never told me.."
Peter pulled away as he leaned against the sink."I don't know.."
She watched him reach behind him for more bubbles,"Peter..."
"Yeah.." he put some of the bubbles on the tip of her nose
"Yeah?"
Peter nodded,"Yeah.This way you have no excuse for forgetting our anniversary.."
Cleo wiped her nose with his sleeve
"Because it's thanksgiving" they said together and laughed
"Jinx!" Cleo called
"Hey!!"
