Thanksgiving was odd. Spent it with my honey's family, and their relatives. One of the families is notorious for fighting and yelling parents, and particularly unruly, screaming young kids, a boy and a girl. My honey was able to briefly distract the boy by pulling up "Bob The Builder" episodes on Netflix on her laptop. This didn't entertain the girl, though, and she was soon running around with her Twilight Sparkle balloon set, having it make its noises over and over, evoking memories of bored Sweetie Belle. Once dinner was done, I pulled out my Touchpad -- brought just in case this happened -- and asked her what her favorite episode was. She couldn't identify one, but her favorite pony was Rainbow Dash. So, I fired up Sonic Rainboom, and I was suddenly her best friend in the world, if for no other reason than I actually knew who Rainbow Dash was, let alone had a neat gizmo that let her watch the show.
