Christopher Columbus's Thanksgiving Cornbread.

Today my co-worker, Andrea, and I were talking about what our families do for Thanksgiving, and she said her boyfriend goes to Nicaragua every Thanksgiving. She asked him what they do in Nicaragua for Thanksgiving, and he laughed at her because everyone knows that Thanksgiving is an American holiday. So she said, "what do we celebrate Thanksgiving for, anyway?" and I replied, "well, DUH, Andrea, Thanksgiving is when Christopher Columbus came to America and the Indians showed him how to make cornbread!"
To which she responded, "Uh NO, Heather, Christopher Columbus has his own day."

Today I realized just how much I have forgotten from school.
