Memories of Thanksgivings past

Long ago when the earth was young and I was a TV reporter, we were sent out to do the obligatory pre-Thanksgiving "food prices" story.

I'll never forget one particular year, as a young fellow in the grocery store was determined to be part of our story. He was 10 or 12, and wandered into every single shot.

There he was, examining the frozen turkeys. Next he read the cooking instructions on the bag of fresh cranberries. He held up different types of apples, scrutinizing which would make the best pie. He even found his way over to the yams and sweet potatoes. And there he was again--in the bakery this time, looking over the pecan tarts.

Good thing we had a tripod (we called them "sticks"), otherwise the camera work would have been shaky. We were laughing that hard.

This young man brought those memories back last month.



He was so proud of winning such a huge prize, he made sure I took a photo. I knew better than to resist.

As long as we're staring Stewie's huge diaper in the face, it seems appropriate to remind everyone that diaper-wearing Guests need to use swim diapers while in the water at Splashin' Safari or in Magic Waters at Holidog's FunTown.
