    I used to listen to that song every Thanksgiving on the way to my mom’s house, but my daughter won’t let me anymore.

      ? why not? It’s hilarious. My fam is all prior service or active military and we still laugh our asses off at the recruiting (MEPS) scene.

      is there something I’ve missed about Guthrie etc? Happens, I adored Shel Silverstein until I heard the sequel to A Boy Named Sue…

        Because she’s a teenager and they’re grumpy when they’re made to go somewhere for some stupid Thanksgiving and have a stupid dinner with stupid relatives.

          oh for a moment I was like… “shit what have I missed this time?” lol

          good luck; I have a 13 old who’s sarcastic eye roll is fucking lethal, like, multiple teachers have commented.

          Someone mentioned to me the other day: nothing I can mess up in this kid’s life (within reason) will be worse than the climate apocalypse coming. So enjoy this time.

          Yeah. Fuck. But ok.
