and kicked that lady’s ass for messing with her granddaughter. No one messes with Grandma’s stuff. This is New York City. This is how old age gets here. Whip your ass, talk later. You hear me? Linette McIntosh was born in New York City. She is a student at the Fortune Society, where John Kefalas is her teacher. She writes, “I want to share my feelings about how I got over pain . . . and let other people know that it is possible to let go and move on to better things.” Laughing 73
Thanksgiving Jose Chavarry 74 Laughing One day before Thanksgiving, we bought a turkey, all the vegetables that we needed, and condiments. We defrosted the turkey in water and salt, and then put it in a great bowl. After that, we put it in the refrigerator. The next day, we removed the turkey and prepared it for seasoning. We mixed wine, red pepper, black pepper, salt and garlic in a bowl. We put everything on the turkey, and we put it in the oven for three hours, approximately. At noon, my family and friends arrived, carrying salads, fruits and cake. The table was ready, and the only thing that was missing was the turkey. When my wife took the turkey from the kitchen to the dining room, she slipped and the turkey went flying into the air and fell to the floor. At that moment, Boby, my dog, went on the top of the turkey, taking hold of it and running around the house. Everyone said “Take hold of Boby!” and tried to catch him. When they were chasing Boby, they caused the chairs and decorations to fall. Finally, my friend Tom caught Boby, but the turkey was destroyed. For one moment, everyone was quiet, and then Tom started to laugh and applaud. We remained without turkey and ate chicken instead. This is a Thanksgiving to always remember as Boby’s first Thanksgiving. Jose Chavarry was born in Peru and has lived in New York City for two years. He studies English and computers at LaGuardia College’s Center for Immigrant Education and Training. He writes, “I like to read books about computers, listen to music, play soccer, fish, and dance to salsa, rock, and merengue.” He’d like to thank his teacher, Jo Tyler, for helping him to improve his English.
