Don't Kill the Bird!

It's one of those times when an event that's usually a happy time is a sad one. Pam was still a member of the family last Thanksgiving. She'd showed DJ how to cook the turkey and make the pie, but this year Pam's not with them. D. J. wanted nothing more than to make her mother proud by cooking Thanksgiving dinner.

Things are going well until Jesse and Joey tried to carve the bird...the FROZEN bird! D. J. was so excited about cooking dinner and how proud Mom would be that Danny could not bring himself to tell her the truth. When two pretty ladies came by with a turkey...well, Danny offered them $200 for it. But Joey ruined any chances when he got his tongue stuck in a bottle. Only Joey can get the family in a predicament like that!!!

The saddest part of the episode is when Jesse finally realized that his sister wouldn't be there for Thanksgiving that year. Danny had to talk him through his grief, knowing it was harder on him than anyone because he'd had more time with her than anybody else in the family. It's always nice to see the one who lost the most comforting others, and Danny's a born comforter!
