Thankslambing

This Thanksgiving, my brother made a lamb for dinner. It was the first time he made dinner for a family holiday, and his wife made the Yorkshire pudding to go with the lamb. The food was yummy in general, and the lamb was yummy in particular. Yum.

When I got back to school after the holiday, I was informed that the consumption of Thanksgiving lamb was yet another example of my lack of conformity to usual practices.

I wondered if it was really fair to note that I was being nonconformist. After all, I always make a turkey when I host Thanksgiving. Can I help it if my family is full of renegades?

Of course, I could have pretended that I had really only had turkey, which may have been the point....
