How does the man usually spend Thanksgiving?

W: Today’s November fifteenth. It’s almost time for Thanksgiving.
M: What are your plans for Thanksgiving day?
W: The same as usual. My aunts and uncles and cousins come to our house for dinner.
M: Do you cook the turkey?
W: My mother cooks it. But I prepare the vegetables. My aunts usually bring the pies.
M: My father and I go to my married sister’s every year. When my mother was alive, the whole family came to our house. The women cooked the meal, and the men washed the dishes.
W: In out family the kids wash the dishes. The whole thing is a lot of work.
M: Yes, but I like Thanksgiving. I was out of the country last year, and I really missed it. That’s one time in the year when families get together.
