With black eyeliner covering her whole eye and that Nirvana shirt that everyone wears even if they haven’t listened to the album, twelve-year-old Kelly Adams is ready for Thanksgiving with her stupid family.
Now in middle school Adams can’t just say she’s thankful for coloring books or her family, she has an image to keep now. 6th grade means lockers, boys and refusing to do anything to appease her parents.
“I wanted to make a Facebook this weekend and my mom said no, so why should I do anything to help her," She shared.
At three o’clock dinner started and the whole Adams family gathered. Before eating dinner after starving themselves for two days before the holiday the family must go around the table of twenty sharing what they are thankful for. Adams’s mom said her health, her dad said his loving wife and beautiful children. Adams was ready for her turn, mentally prepping for her moment to shine.
“My cousin Phil was just finishing up and I was pumped…in a really non-affected way of course. It got to me and I was silent” She said.
Her mom started questioning her “Kelly what are you thankful for?” That was the exact thing she shouldn’t say.
“Nothing!” Adams shouted “The world is shit.”
It was later discovered that Adams had learned that word from an 8th grader.
A screaming matched ensued successfully ruining Thanksgiving. Adams was swiftly sent to her room, which was her plan all along. She's stated that she feels proud of what she has accomplished at such a young age
