And first of all I want to thank you -specially for Rudolph the turkey that we had in our back yard so's you could fatten him up. Rudolph is all fattened up now, Daddy. After Mummy finished makin' the stuflìns this after- noon, I fed it all to Rudolph. Then I gave him the cranberry sauce and a piece of custard pie. You should take a look at him tonite, Daddy. He's so stuffed and fat, he can't take another bite. I know it 'cause he ran away when I fried to give him the baby's mush. Is that why the baby tries to run away, too, when you feed him that stuff? Anyway, Daddy, you should see how many thanks I got from some boy scouts who came around this afternoon to pick up scrap. Mummy wasn't in, so I took your golf clubs and typewriter and fancy vest -buttons and gave 'em to 'em. Then they told me they wanted tin. So I gave 'em your old pocket -watch. How many thanxgivin' days are we gonna have this year, Daddy? 'Member last year when we had turkey on the first day, and turkey hash on the next Thanxgivin' day. That's when Mummy said you was a tightwad. I gotta write an essay on the Pilgrims for my teacher day after tomorrow. Whose fathers are the Pilgrims, Daddy? 'Cause teacher said they were the Pilgrim fathers, so's when I asked her how many kids they had she made me stand in the corner for an hour. I didn't like that and I thought I'd take a guess at the question she asked. I told her eleventy -sixty -four. She said, "What ?" and I explained that the Pilgrim fathers had that many kids. So I had to stay after school. Well, just how many kids did they have, Daddy? Red and me had some real fun yesterday. In the back of Mr. Schultzes butcher shop they got a big sign reading "dressed turkeys." Daddy, under the sign there are a trillion million turkeys and they don't have a teenie weenie bit of dress or pants on. I guess Mr. Schultz was too busy. Anyway Red and me dressed them up.
