Nothing a Little Pie Won't Fix

It's finally Thanksgiving morning and I can't wait for the turkey! I woke up when it was after lunchtime so I just may not eat so I can have more room for food.

"When we going to Grandma house", I say.

"When we go", Brandi says.

I roll my eyes and walk away, she really tries to piss me off everyday. She know it take one second to answer me. I walk by Warren in her room and he is jumping on her bed, she better not say nothing to me about it.

My phone buzzes a few times and I look down at it. I have a mixture of "Happy Thanksgiving" and "Happy Turkey day" text messages and DMs.

*Happy Thanksgiving*, I see under Mike's name. I smile and remember everything that happened.

*Happy Thanksgiving*, I text back.

*I am thankful for you being in my life*, he sends. Woah, that was new.

I stare at the message a little longer before sending back *Im thankful to have you too*. I don't want to get all mushy but I really am thankful for him because he allowed me to know that I can still be found attractive and I am not the reason why my relationships have ended.

"Ow", Warren says and laughs. He fell off the bed and is holding his head when I walk into the room.

"Seriously Warren, why are you jumping on the bed", I say from the door.

"Happy Turkey Day Kay Kay", he says and goes back to jumping on the bed.

"Stop jumping Warren", I say.

"It's Turkey Time", he says jumping and waving his arms.

"Not yet", I say.

"It is", he yells and starts crying.

"Why is he crying", Brandi says coming up the stairs.

"He thought it was time for turkey, but I told him it wasn't", I say.

"You let him jump on my bed", she says.

"No, I said stop but he wouldn't", I say.

"No you let him", she yells.

"Whatever", I say and walk away.

I go back into my room and grab my makeup bag. I wanted to do some eyeshadow and highlight. I go to the bathroom mirror and look at my outfit to find colors to match. I do a simple look and light highlight. When I am done my mom yells for us to get ready to get in the car. Warren tries to bring toys and she tells him to leave them, he just screams.

"Warren just leave them", she says as she closes the door.

"But I want truck", he says still carrying it to the car.

"Fine, just don't cry if you leave it", she says turning the car on.

"I won't", he says smiling.

When we get to my grandma's house I can smell the food before I hit the door. It's so cool how everyone has their own special foods and traditions they do for Thanksgiving. Our family tradition really isn't anything special, we don't even have one, honestly the food would be the tradition.

"Greens smell good ma", Brandi says.

"Well I made them", she says and smiles, "I would hope it taste even better".

"It will", I say and smile. I am just ready to eat.

Maybe an hour passes and it's finally time to eat. It's only four o'clock but we eat early so we can eat again later. She made some turkey, ham, Mac n cheese, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, greens, sauerkraut, and pig feet.
