Happy Thanksgiving Bobbledy Gobblers!
I’m guessing that you all ate delicious potatoes and cranberry mush with your loving families yesterday. You were probably with at least one family member in a (hopefully) cozy home. Most likely, there were traditional dishes displayed on a festive table setting. There’s a good chance that you ran around the house playing with cousins. But what if you didn’t? What if you didn’t have Thanksgiving with your family, or the way that you’ve celebrated it before? Where would you be and who would you be with? What would you eat?
If I didn’t have Thanksgiving with my family I would be with a black rabbit and a black cat in a backyard underneath some bushes. That’s where the rabbit lives. The cat lives at the house at the other end of the yard. (They became friends the other day when the cat chased a mouse underneath the bush where the rabbit lives.) The cat would eat a whole fish and the rabbit would get to eat a whole bowl of fresh carrots. The rabbit would prepare a big bowl of spinach for dessert, knowing that the cat doesn’t like spinach, and he would get to have it all to himself.
That is, until I showed up! I love spinach! If my family completely forgot about Thanksgiving and decided to go about their regular routines on Thanksgiving Day, I would join the black rabbit and the black cat. I would get to eat the extra spinach.
Here’s the prompt for this week: Draw what you would be doing and eating, and who you would be with to celebrate Thanksgiving if you couldn’t have it with your family. My rabbit and cat friend keep it pretty simple and fairly traditional on Thanksgiving, but maybe you wouldn’t. Would you sit on a cloud fishing for raindrops to make special Thanksgiving water? Would you crawl under your bed and have dinner with all the dust-monsters and their babies? Or would you just go to your neighbor’s house?
When you’re done with your drawing, scan it or take a picture of it and send it to Matthew so he can post it next Tuesday.
