I've been lazy about getting back to my reviewers, haven't I? I'm sorry. I've been working on Seussical the Musical as stage manager and it's harrowingly exhausting.
Thanksgiving
"Well," Mark says in forced joviality, "what a delightful turkey you guys are having."
Addison glares at him. "Derek caught some fish, Mark, at least pretend that it's not gross and smelly."

Reference: A Thanksgiving Visitor is a short story by Truman Capote about a boy named Buddy, whose caretaker invites the entirely unscrupulous and impolite Odd Henderson over for Thanksgiving. Buddy sees Odd as an invader of sorts into his Thanksgiving dinner. Some life lesson is learned, apparently, but I'm not really worried about that.
