mashed potatoes

It's cold outside.
I had banking to do but didn't want to leave the house.
Boyfriend volunteered to do it for me. :O)
So he's at the bank as I type.
Daughter's in my bed listening to music, looking online at prom dresses.

One of the nurses I work with is from Jamaica, I think.
The other day before she left work, and while she was telling us good-bye and to have a nice Thanksgiving......she asked me if I knew how to make mashed potatoes. It kinda made me laugh until I remembered she came from another country. Maybe they don't eat mashed potatoes there? So I told her how to make them.................and then on my way home from work, I stopped at a friends of daughter to pick up daughter. On the drive home I asked daughter "Do you know how to make mashed potatoes?"
Daughter: No.
Me: Seriously?
Daughter: yes.
Me:Wanna help me prepare Thanksgiving dinner? I'll teach you.
Daughter: (painful like grunt)
Me: It will be fun.
Daughter:
Me: Okay?
Daughter:okay.
Me: :O)
So I'm looking forward to it.
She'll end up having fun with me. She just doesn't know it yet.

I don't recall ever not knowing how to make mashed potatoes, I grew up country.

Don't much like gutting coons though.
