“Do you celebrate Thanksgiving in Canada, Ty?”

I was actually asked that question, a couple of years ago,
when we moved here to the States.

You see, I am not quick witted enough.

All I answered was,

“Yes, we do. But we have it in October.”

What I should have said was:

“Yes, we do. But only on Thanksgiving.”


I guess I didn’t say the latter because,
everybody perceives Canadians as polite and proper.

But in all honesty, I did not say that answer because,
I live in the States now, and people here have guns.

And they will use them.

So, this Thanksgiving.
I guess I am thankful that I am still alive.

For now.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!
