Megin:
My ancestors came over from Ireland because of the potato famine.

Becky:
Your ancestors caused the potato famine.

Megin:
Probably.

Megin's Dad:
Your Mom and I are really looking forward to seeing you on Thanksgiving.

Megin:
I'm really looking forward to seeing you and Mom. And eating mashed potatoes until I'm sick. Then stuffing a bunch of mashed potatoes in my purse for the drive home.

Megin's Dad:
Is it legal to drive with taters in your purse?

Megin:
I'm not sure about the laws in Kentucky.

Megin's Dad:
Most likely they'll need to be consumed before you hit the state line.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Enjoy your potatoes, mashed and otherwise.
