Wishbone Wish

The turkey this year was so great, the wishbone lay there on the plate. I won the big part and wished from my heart; “Please, grandad, don’t start a debate!” He didn’t hear me, I am guessing; said, “is it stuffing or dressing?” We fed him with wine, which made him supine; that, was our Thanksgiving blessing!

I'm guessing a tipsy granddad equals a quieter granddad? It's all good
