Since my girls take a bus to our office in the afternoons, they need something to occupy them when their homework is done. Their favorite thing to do is decorate my door with pictures for whatever upcoming holiday there is. The Halloween stuff came down and they set about to decorate for Thanksgiving. I didn’t really supervise them over it: I envisioned pictures of family, indians, and turkeys plastered all over. What I got was not quite what I envisioned. One shows a turkey being shot. Complete with a bullet heading towards the poor turkey and one hell of a terrified look on the birds face. Another one features a trickster. A girl is coaxing a turkey to come to her, she even says “Come here turkey, we love you”. It’s apparent that she has a wicked evil grin on her face. Look closer and you see her holding a butcher knife behind her back. And Mr. P’s favorite picture is a glass of champagne and it says ” Get Drunk! It’s Thanksgiving!”. FYI….we have never shot a turkey, butchered a turkey, and I don’t make a habit of getting drunk at every single holiday event either.

The pictures have come down. My father in law thought they were hilarious! But I was concerned about what some of our clients would say if they came in and saw them. Actually it might have done some good, save a few turkeys this year. I was seriously contemplating not eating turkey anymore after the look of fear in shooter turkey’s face.
