My kid looked at the Thanksgiving table and said, 'Mom, why is the gravy on a separate boat?' I said, 'Because it's a traditional serving vessel.' He said, 'It's a boat. You put the gravy in a boat. The turkey is on a plate. The potatoes are on a plate. The corn is on a plate. The green beans are on a plate. The gravy is in a boat. We are having a Thanksgiving on a river. The gravy is sailing. The turkey is on land. The potatoes are on land. The gravy is the only thing that's on the water.'
