Thanksgiving
- Corinna and her dad go to his parents' house for Thanksgiving. (Corinna calls them Gigi and Pop Pop.)
- Neither of them really feels like going, but somebody has to make Sophie's cranberry sauce. Corinna whips up a batch, then puts one of Sophie's favorite sweaters on to wear to dinner.
- The family seems uncomfortable. Corinna's Uncle Patrick and Aunt Vicky (and all the other adults in attendance) ask her how school is, but everybody's obviously trying to avoid talking about her mom.
- Back at home, Corinna emails Aunt Jennifer and asks her to relate a funny story about Sophie. She needs to laugh.
- Aunt Jennifer writes back that Sophie once had a crush on a boy, so she baked him brownies, left them on his doorstep, rang the bell, and ran.
- They included walnuts, which the boy was allergic to, so fortunately, he didn't eat them. Phew.
- Corinna prints out the email and puts it in her Mom Box. She hopes they can spend Thanksgiving with Aunt Jennifer's family next year.
