Wiggles:  The humans are celebrating one of their special days. And that means…

Doodlebug:  MEAT!!!

Miss Sweetie:  MEAT COOKED OUTSIDE WITH SMOKE AND SPICES!!!

Stella: Lady Human, what meat day is today?

Me:  Thanksgiving Day.

Stella:  We give thanks to the Great Creator for meat.

Wiggles:  And we give thanks for the wonderfully scented air.

Doodlebug:  And we give thanks for Tall Man who knows how to cook over fire coals.

Miss Sweetie:  And we give thanks for…

Stella:  What, Sweetie? What do we give thanks for?

Miss Sweetie:  I can’t…There aren’t just a few…I don’t know where… to start…or stop…We give thanks for everything all the time. There. I said it. And I’m not taking it back.

Stella:  That’s okay, Sweetie. Let’s keep that right where it is.
