Here’s a Thanksgiving memory.
A few years ago I was back home for this holiday.
My sister did most of the cooking.
And when all the food was ready and hot and on the table, it was time to give thanks.
Usually, we go around the table and say something short and sweet.
But this year, my dad decided to give a speech.
And by the time he was finished, the food was cold.
Everyone had to get their plate of food and then stand in line for the microwave.
My sister was not happy.
Short and Sweet
Have you ever heard that expression?
It means to be brief, concise, succinct.
Translation: You don’t say a lot when a few words will do.
This week we’re celebrating Thanksgiving Week.
That means, once a day, on the Vig blog, we share one thing we’re thankful for.
Why?
Because it feels good.
And when you feel good, you do everything better, especially English.
And today, I’d like you to be short and sweet.
Example…
I’m thankful for mango smoothies. (I had one for lunch today. It was yummy!)
