the impossible assignment

checked C's agenda on Monday to find a writing assignment that he had 40 minutes to work had not been finished in class and was being sent home so he could finish that evening. My gut reaction was oh hell no this s**t was not starting again what would the punishment be? I was relived to discover the assignment had been how I prepare a turkey for thanksgiving or some such nonsense...
Quite honestly how in the hell would he know? We never have turkey for thanksgiving! I am not sure when or why but David & I usually have a rib roast or leg of lamb for the holidays and I might throw a small ham into the mix if we are having a crowd but never turkey. I reminded C of some preparations that happen at Grammy & Grandpa's house for Thanksgiving but in retrospect I should have just pushed him to write what we actually prepare.
