The Worst Thanksgiving Feast Ever

Kallie,

With Thanksgiving approaching I thought it would be a good time to share the story about your worst Thanksgiving ever!

Two years ago we went to the Thanksgiving Feast at Gateway Church. We went to get food and I said you could have one dessert. You asked if you could have two and I said no, I already told you that you could only have one. At that moment you threw a huge fit. I thought this would be a good time to teach a lesson so I threw your cookie away leaving you with no dessert instead of one. This sent you into a full on kicking and screaming rage. I managed to get you back into the dining area where we were sitting with a teacher from your school, Ms Harris. You refused to eat and I told you I would sit in the car with you if you didn't want to eat. At that point you stood up and yelled, "This is the worst Thanksgiving feast ever!" and ran out of the room. Everyone stared at me like I was the worst father in the world.

I think a lot of folks prayed for my parenting skills that night.
