Pie.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. All of you might be aware. And I need to share a word of advice. I have discovered something that maybe all of you already know, but in case you don't... I will be the one to bring you this news.
I have discovered that pie is very sensitive topic. I always knew religion and money and sex are the things you can't talk about in public. But pie apparently sparks some very serious thoughts in people. You mention pie and someone immediately goes on a rant about how they hate all the fruit pies, and they will only eat a meringue. Someone will respond with how they will eat pie but only if it's warmed up with a scoop of ice cream and then someone complains that the ice cream melts too fast, and pie should not be warm. They will get adamant until you are leaning back in your chair. And then if you want to get super controversial there's that old man who says, "I like to eat my apple pie with a slice of cheddar cheese on top" and at which point most people are surprised or disgusted depending on the group.
I have decided that I will keep pie as a topic for when I need to start a lively debate with a random group of people. I now know that it is a conversation starter, and it is the topic that most people cannot keep their opinions to themselves. They feel inspired or at least hell-bent on explaining their position of why pumpkin pie is better than sweet potato pie.
OHHHH... Did I get you there?
Be careful with that one if you live in the south.
So, for everyone this Thanksgiving, have a wonderful holiday filled with pie. And however you like it, that sounds good to me.
