FADE IN:
EXT. ATLANTA, GEORGIA NEIGHBORHOOD - DAWN - ESTABLISHING
Spacious homes dot a winding road in a quiet suburban neighborhood, where trampolines, dog runs, and autumn leaves litter hazy, tree-lined backyards.
INT. BROTHER/SISTER-IN-LAW KITCHEN -MORNING
Thanksgiving day preparations clutter the kitchen counter. The morning sunlight filters over a large, raw turkey, AKA: Thanksgiving Dinner. CAT, TGIM, and UNCLE CARROL (TGIM’s brother) look on as AUNT AMY begins stuffing the turkey with cornbread stuffing. Enter MISSY PETITE, 3 (almost 4), a bubbly little girl with honey-blonde hair and a sparkle in her eye.
MISSY PETITE
(horrified)
Aaaaw! Poor pig!
Ha! Adam found a pig in the toy box, but keeps insisting it’s a cow.
Happy Thanksgiving! Have a great time in Georgia.
You are in GA? Did the Turkey have an apple in it’s mouth?
HEE!
Funny!
