in chinese, emotions are edible

this thanksgiving, my mom is in taiwan. and, while she did not call, she did leave her three girls a TWENTY POUND turkey bird.
we discovered this on wednesday when my youngest sister emerged from the garage, cradling the massive animal in her arms. as she lobbed its frozen bulk into the sink, i inched up to it in awe. the message in the turkey's mountainous breasts was clear.
clearly, our mother loves us.
