Jolene:
Fighting with Jeremy? Crying mom?
Adam:
Ja and ja. What about you?
Jolene:
Have you ever had Tofurky?
Adam:
That sounds awful.
Jolene:
Awful is too kind a word. Plus Tom and I had words recently and he’s being all distant with my mom. It’s a toss-up which turns my stomach more: him or the fake meat.
Adam:
Did you see your dad?
Jolene:
Jo. Is that Dutch for no?
Adam:
It’s nee.
Jolene:
Then, nee, I didn’t see my dad. He texted though.
Adam:
Yeah?
Jolene:
It said “Happy Thanksgiving.” Not “Hey, kid, Happy Turkey Day.” Not even my name on the end. He probably has an app on his phone that sends out generic holiday greetings to all his contacts.
Adam:
I thought about skipping school with you. It helped.
Jolene:
Me, too.
Adam:
And I saved you a piece of my sweet potato pie.
Jolene:
Did you really?
