"You can have Thanksgiving dinner at our house!" Benjamin called out, ever enthusiastic, to every person we ran into on our way home from school. "It's only two sleeps away!"
Most people ignored him.
His teacher said she would but she wasn't quite sure where his house is (then he reminded her of our address (because he had to memorize that last month) and gave her verbal directions ("You just turn at the stop sign and go straight down the road until...")).
His friend Lucy's dad mumbled an apology: "Oh, uh, well...thanks for the invitation but we've already got plans."
I have no idea how many people will show up for Thanksgiving dinner, but at least I know that my little boy is very friendly.
