'If you need something done on Thanksgiving, ask my grandfather.'
In Thanksgiving, as in life, there are delegators and there are doers. Delegators assign. They’ll tell you to bring the cranberry sauce, they’ll tell you when it’s time to serve the pie, and they’ll make you write place cards even though you’re all family and no one needs to be told where to sit.
We learned this behavior from my grandfather. He and my grandmother were the ultimate delegator-doer pair. She navigated; he drove. She set the menu; he was her sous. They played a lot of doubles tennis, and I can only imagine how it worked on the court. As my grandparents got older, they traveled less and less, spending Thanksgivings at their retirement home instead. My grandfather bred a pretty neurotic bunch of doers, but even we couldn’t match his dedication to the most loathed, least appreciated jobs. Our potatoes were pockmarked with errant knife stabs, our brussels sprouts trimmed carelessly and one time not at all.
