Flying Turkeys- Ji-Hae Kim

On Thanksgivings, I normally go to my grandparents house (in Louisville) for a day and have dinner with my grandparents on my dads side, and two of my many cousins. This year, however, I had family come from Louisville and Indiana to my new home to have Thanksgiving lunch (instead of dinner because they had to drive the round trip). We haven't had a Thanksgiving like this since I was in elementary school. Most of my family lives in South Korea, so our gatherings are usually small and doesn't occur very often. This year, we had more food than we could have possibly needed. We ended up eating like an eighth of it and split up the food among us when we all went our separate ways. Since I haven't seen most of my cousins since like second grade, it was really awkward when we were all pushed into a room together to talk. There was seven of us total. We're the only ones who live in the U.S. Three are in college, three in high school, and one in middle school. It was hard to find a topic we could all talk about. It was alright after an hour. Once conversation flowed freely and we were having fun, though, they had to leave. They left before dinner because one family had to drive all the way back to Indiana.
