1956 Thanksgiving

Tidbits,
early memory of being in the car at night and seeing flashing lights and a policeman talking to my dad.
This was thanksgiving 1956? we were still on Alabama street.
So dad tells the story , “He had a fender bender on the way back from the store where he and I had gone to get some last minute ingredient for Thanks giving dinner.
 The Police officer saw that I was stressed by the situation and he asked me what I had for dinner? I answered “A Hot dog”
 the Police officer looked at my dad scornfully and asked about a hot dog for dinner.
 Dad said he explained that the turkey dinner was waiting for us at home’ Restoring his image to the cop.
