Clay — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 16:57:44 +0000

My son Narls is four years old (almost five if you ask him) and he has a pretty good grasp on what Thanksgiving is all about.

He first told this story to my wife on the way to school one day after learning about it from his teachers. She raved about it, but I blew it off because I'm an adult and that's what we do.
