A Good Ole Southern Thanksgiving

My Thanksgiving this year, as it is with many people, was full of family. This year, we decided to eat Thanksgiving supper at my new 2nd cousin's Mother and Father's house in Peachtree City, Georgia. Peachtree City is about 35 minutes south of Atlanta. Once we were ready to eat, Amber's Mother told us to split up into the Girl's Dining Room and the Boy's Dining Room. She said that the boys were allowed to watch Football on TV. Little did she know, that I wanted to watch the football game! As we started eating, our conversation was focused along the lines of how women should not have to do anything mechanical or sports related. The conversation was really frustrating and my input was "I know how to change my tire", and "I changed my own oil this summer". The conversation went on and on and I found myself poking my Mom in the side every time something ridiculous was said. Hopefully next Thanksgiving will not be as old-fashioned and I will feel more comfortable in adding my thoughts into the conversation.
