Why Im a writer. Today as I was leaving my parents house in Celebration and saying goodbye to my mom on my stoop. A group of British people passed and said hello. When one said Happy Thanksgiving. I paused for a second and then chuckled which quickly turned into a hard laugh. For at first I thought of the obvious sarcasm in her statement and chuckled. Then a member of the group said finally one of them got it. When he said that I then realized the countless number of people they must of passed to get to my house from downtown Celebration. Then the irony of who was saying it, and the fact he referred to us as them gave it a much needed. Yes, we still see you as them tone to the whole evening. However, in a very meaningful way. It shows that after hundreds of years drinking side by side the both of us see each other not as opposites but as brothers. Separate, different, but equal. Sure one has a stronger currency exchange rate, but the other has a stronger armed forces. Which one is better? I dont know, you tell me. Whos in whos country?
