So, I love the way Don has taken a sometimes predictable scenario and provided a wonderfully timed twist! There are elements within the piece that are hard to swallow (e.g. the feelings of certain people towards certain races/sexualities/political views) but the piece has been wonderfully interlaced with what I believe to be a key moral about loving your children, no matter what. It's a lovely snapshot of this particular family dynamic but, if the writer was so inclined, that Thanksgiving dinner would make a great one-act or full-length piece. I've no doubt Don would do it justice!
