Alice: Petey, what's that? Petey: It's my school project on Thanksgiving. It didn't go so well. Alice: Why? Petey: Instead of the FIRST Thanksgiving, I did a diorama of the THIRD Thanksgiving, when they were all getting on each other's nerves. See, they're standing around in an awkward silence. And look, everyone hates the stuffing, and the turkey came out dry. The Native Americans are sitting at a separate table because all the pilgrims are talking about football. And who cares about that?? Alice: Ha! It's great! I always love your work! Petey: Well, my teacher says it didn't fall within the parameters of the assignment. Now it just makes me cringe. Alice: Would it help if I took it outside and ran over it with my tricycle? Petey: Sure. Back up over it a few times, too.

I mean, Thanksgiving really is a dull, over-commercialized and stereotyped holiday that really has nothing to do with the Native Americans saving the pilgrims.

When I was in school (think 1950’s) they were teaching us that Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity, Edison invented the light bulb and Columbus discovered America among many, many other lies!
