Maymay: Momma? Why is Thanksgiving only one day a year?
Me: Well, we would run out of turkey if it were weekly.
Maymay: (She put her hands on her hips and let out a deep sigh...) Don't try to be funny. Why is Thanksgiving only one day a year?
Me: Ouch. Sorry hon. One day is set aside for us to remember to be thankful for what we have. It allows everyone to stop all the ugliness and complaining, and then focus on what really matters.
Maymay: Why don't we just be thankful everyday, and have one day for ugliness and complaining? We can wear our jammies all day, not take a bath so we are smelly, and be cranky-pants all day.
Hmmm....would we call this day of uber crankiness? Complainsgiving?
