Thanksgiving Breakfast

For many years my family has eaten Thanksgiving dinner around lunch time and then when dinner time comes around if we still have room for anything we will have leftovers. I imagine many of you do the same thing. But this year I encourage you to do something different. This year you should all get up in the morning and your family should eat breakfast together around the table. Then you should save your big turkey dinner until the evening. Why do I think you should make sure to have breakfast together? Well Thanksgiving is a time of being thankful, sharing, and love. And breakfast, well, breakfast over the years has been lacking all those things. Need proof? Just look at all these things we’ve learned from breakfast.

Leggo My Eggo
I’m sure you all remember the Eggo Waffle commercials. But if you don’t remember every Leggo commercial started off with someone making an Eggo Waffle or two. They would leave their plate for a second to get syrup or something rather and then someone else would be lured there by the scent of the waffles. Sort of like in cartoons when someone leaves an apple pie on the window sill. This person would sit down to eat the Eggo and the original owner of the Eggo would come back and say “Leggo my Ego!” Now, there are several things wrong with this picture and I’m not even going to get into the improper English part. First of all, when is it ever ok to sit down at someone else’s meal and just start eating, this isn’t an A1 sauce commercial. Maybe this very hungry fellow would be successful if he stopped and asked the owner of the Eggos, “Greetings and Salutations, I am very famished and I was wondering if I could partake in this meal with you.” But on the other hand the owner of the Eggos could’ve been a little bit nicer. Instead of yelling maybe he could’ve shared his breakfast. The Eggo commercials are clearly teaching us greed and rudeness.
