What we can learn from the first Thanksgiving

19.05.12

Wow, how naive can I get?

So I decided to do a little research on the first Thanksgiving. What did the Pilgrims wear if they didn't wear buckles on their hats? Did they eat turkey and pie? How did they survive that first winter? After a little digging, the kids and I discovered just how much we have to be grateful for.

We were surprised to learn that the Pilgrim children didn't have a seat at the first Thanksgiving table, not even a little kiddie card table. Instead, the Pilgrim children served the adults and ate standing up. They bowed to their parents and were taught to never say “no” to them. (The more I learn, the more I like these Pilgrims.)

We learned the Pilgrims didn't bathe more than a few times a year. We learned they wore colorful clothes and not all black. We learned that all children under the age of 7 wore a long dress, boys and girls alike. (My boys didn't think that was funny at all.) We learned underpants hadn't been invented yet, and that there were no right and left shoes. All shoes were cut the same.
