In the story “Turkeys in the Kitchen” by Dave Berry, Berry identifies many different stereotypes about the genders that he notices at a Thanksgiving holiday gathering. Berry states that men are scum when it comes to helping out in the kitchen. He also says that Thanksgiving night is probably the slowest night of the year for sexual activity. Berry says that men can’t help the fact that they are not good at watching the children because watching the Detroit lions is distracting to them and the children end up injuring themselves or the dog. He says the reason men do not help in the kitchen is because they learn everything they need to know in shop class which does not include cooking.

To her, she was just a “six year old with sideburns” who didn’t eat ‘normal’ food such as sandwiches. Instead of going to brownies like the ‘non-Greeks’ Toula was sent to Greek school where she learnt things like “if a girl has sheep & a boy has nine. How soon will they get married?”. Now at the age of 30 Toula works as a seating hostess at Dancing Zorbas (her parent’s restaurant) wearing dull, bagging clothing, no makeup & large glasses. This reflects Toula’s general state of mind & her dissatisfaction with herself & her life.
I am in the break room watching a football game on tv and for the first time, it is super packed in here. Everyone must be on their lunch or came here to just watch the football game. As I am eating my chips, an Asian older lady walks in the break room. She stops and looks around to see where she can sit because all of the tables are full except for one. The table that had one seat available was right in front of her face but she did not want to sit there.
The announcement that she will lose the man around whom her world revolves puts Mary into a daze of unbelief. Instead of arguing with Patrick, she goes on as if nothing has happened, hoping that this will somehow cause her problem to go away. She prepares to make supper and goes down to the deep freezer. She chooses a frozen leg of lamb for the meal. Moving like a somnambulist, she walks into the living room.
We begin the skit with a family gathering in the living room, before their relative, Donald Trump, arrives. First we see the daughter and son who are arguing with their parents over an unknown event, on the side the children make an exchange to ensure they both do not get into trouble with their parents. The scene goes to the whole family, where the mother offers an exchange, with the children, in order to ensure the kids behave when Trump joins them for dinner. The exchange is good behavior from the children for a hover board they have both been wanting. At the dinner, Trump wants the family to support them during his campaign, but the family will only comply if they receive something in return.
Christopher's problems required special attention of his father who has to cook his meals which involved his eating habits, clean his clothes, look after him on weekends and when he gets sick or into trouble.

Dear School Administrators, A national epidemic has been brought to my attention that I feel should become your main concern. Children today are developing horrid eating habits, which is causing them to have horrible health. We all know someone who doesn’t live their life style in some sort of a healthy way, but look around almost everyone around you is living their life in an unhealthy way. Right now I am sitting in my school cafeteria and I see people eating all sorts of unhealthy food. Panera, Little Ceasers ,Panda Express, Subway , candy and soda pop from vending machines , and the most popular of all Mc Donald’s.
You see, I used to be a lot like you. Every morning I would wake up in my safe little bed, in my safe little apartment, in my safe, quiet neighborhood. I would get out of bed at exactly 7 a.m., shower, shave, do my necessaries, and head off to work. I would spend my days selling the same insurance policies and having the same conversation with every single client, every single day. At the end of the day, I would return home, alone, cook a pathetic, barely edible dinner, and sit down in front of the television with my cat, Hank.
And they start teasing her and they say that she is a chicken. The following Sunday the family have to go to church. After the Sunday meal, Eilean wants to go out and play with the boys, but her mother asks her if she could bring a spool of threat back to an old woman. The family lives a humble life. They do not have a lot of money; they only have one cow, and a few hens.
