Assignment 14

My favorite Thanksgiving was probably the one when my parents decided to stay in town. Every year we leave on Tuesday right after school ends, and we return just before I have to go to youth group on Sunday. In eighth grade, my extended family came to visit us instead. I was able to visit my friends, who ask me every year to do something over the break. I was even able to go Black Friday shopping with them. Of course all the usual things occurred, like the James Bond marathons, the football games, and the endless questions about my school life, my health, and my plans for the future. But I was able to endure the struggles of visiting with 18 people and 1 dog in my own home. I was able to sleep in my own bed (even though there were people sleeping in my room), take showers in my own bathroom, and pick my outfits at the beginning of the day, not the beginning of the week. It probably gave me the smallest headache of all the Thanksgivings I can remember.
