Family TraditionsDear reader,

I think it’d be safe to say that at one point or another, we’ve all had to deal with a family member who decided, this year, we’re going to try something new for � anksgiv-ing.

For me, it was my dad, and it was � anksgiving 2005. Deep frying the turkey was all the rage, and of course, my dad HAD to try it out. Oh, Dad.

Flash forward to � anksgiving morning and this is the scene: my mom, my two brothers, our family friend Dmitry and I are circled around a huge pot full of oil in the backyard - Dad’s got the turkey on a huge pole, headed toward the pot - and I’m thinking, “Nothing good can come of this.”

Step 1: Dad drops the turkey in the pot.Step 2: Flames erupt from said pot.Step 3: � e Prosser family runs for cover.In the same tradition of “Tent Fight 2004” Mom is yell-

ing at Dad, my brothers are laughing - and I’m checking to make sure my eyebrows are still in place.

By the time things calmed down, dad was claiming the turkey was done and returns to the pot. As it turns out, he’s right (Mom hates that) - and dinner, fried to perfec-tion, is served.

For our November issue of the Scene, we’re skipping the chaos that comes with deep-frying the turkey. In fact, we’re skipping the mess all together, and showing you how to take the bird directly from the freezer - to the oven.

We’ll also take a look at Chase Culp’s Rock-It Music Academy (yep, there is a school of rock on the Eastside), the struggles that come with being an actor in the Paci� c Northwest and - of course - how to avoid the wine rut. Because, really, the only solution for a dad with a � anks-giving experiment on the mind is a nice glass of wine - and maybe some protective gear.

With the days getting shorter and the temperature dropping, fall is in full swing. And, now that you’ve put away the patio furniture, it’s time to spruce up your home with new seasonal items, colors and textures.

But just because Halloween and � anksgiving are the major holidays in fall doesn’t mean you should only deck your home with pumpkins, goblins or turkeys. � ere are plenty of ways to in-corporate the look and feel of the season with textures, � nishes and accent pieces. As the weather gets cooler, add colorful blankets and throws in di� erent weaves to add interest to your existing furniture. Engage all your senses by incorporating scented candles throughout your home – fall staples like apple, caramel and cinnamon will make every room more warm and inviting.

Don’t feel like you need to buy all new decor for the season. Spray paint is a simple and inexpensive way to update existing items you may already have around the house, like candlesticks, a serving tray or picture frames in the new, fashionable colors.

Once you have found the items that you want to makeover, lightly sand them to ensure a smooth surface. Next, wipe down the surface to remove any dust or debris. Apply even coats of primer and then add the color of your choice. It should be dry to the touch in just minutes.

As a focal point in living rooms, the mantel is an ideal location to display your new beautiful fall creations. Adding lighted elements, like lanterns or candles, can also bring additional warmth to the room. Don’t have a man-tel? Don’t worry - instead, your dining table can be made over to display your seasonal decor pieces. To protect the top from any scratches or stains, place a runner underneath your new tablescape. Burlap is a perfect choice for this time of year, helping you bring the look and feel of fall right into your dining room.

Once your indoors are looking grand, focus on outdoor elements, such as the front porch, to create a welcoming feel for trick-or-treaters or holiday guests. Easily transform boring, clay pots with a few coats of spray paint; try one of the season’s richest colors, like hunter green, for a woodsy feel. Once dry, add mums in gold or purple and place them on your porch. Continue your makeover with a new door mat and wreath on your front door. Not only will you increase your home’s curb appeal, but you’ll also show guests that they’re welcome in your home.

Don’t wait until December to begin decorating for the season. Fall is the perfect time to make an impact and showcase your design style and vibrant new seasonal colors throughout any area of the house. - ARA content

BY DAVID WHITE

Whether you’re a veteran oenophile or a budding wine enthusiast, you’ve probably fallen into a wine rut at one point or another.

Perhaps you’ve never been disappointed by a Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, so these days, it’s all you buy. Or maybe you stock your pantry with perennial crowd pleasers like Washington state Merlot and California Chardonnay, so those are the only wines you drink.

All too o� en, I � nd myself reaching for Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. My favorite examples combine all the elements I look for in Pinot – rich, ripe aromas of cherries along with fresh herbs and earth, together with lively acidity – so regardless of the season or the meal, it’s my go-to wine.

Such complacency is easy to understand. A� er all, we’re creatures of habit.

But it’s silly. � e world of wine is in� nite. � ere are, quite literally, thousands of di� erent wine grape varieties planted in dozens of countries. Tasting di� erent wines is the best way to learn, and surprising your palate is the best way to keep things fun.

So be adventurous.To begin, consider exploring di� erent regions. If you like

Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, try a classic, Le� Bank Bordeaux or see what Chile has to o� er. If you regularly reach for Sonoma Pinot Noir, explore the wines of Burgundy,

Oregon, or New Zealand.Next, look for wines with similar pro� les. If you like

Chardonnay, consider Viognier. If you like Sauvignon Blanc, try Torrontes or Albarino. If Pinot Noir is your go-to grape, try Tempranillo or Blaufränkisch. If you’re a fan of Cabernet Sauvignon, consider ordering Malbec or Merlot.

Seek obscurity. Some of the most exciting wines are hard to compare to the more popular styles on the market.

� is summer, for example, I’ve fallen for Muscadet, a white wine produced in France’s Loire Valley from a grape called “Melon de Bourgogne.” Typically, the wines are marked by subtle yet precise aromas of apples, limes, and seawater. � anks to extended contact with the dead yeast cells le� over a� er fermentation, Muscadet is also known for exhibiting a creamy mouthfeel. � ese wines are perfect with shell� sh and light seafood dishes.

Plus, like most obscure-but-delicious wines, Muscadet is generally a� ordable.

Orange wines also are worth � nding. Despite the moniker, these wines aren’t made from oranges – they’re white wines produced like red wines, remaining in contact with their skins for an extended period during fermentation. As a result of this process, the wines pick up features that are typically associated with red wines, like tannins. � ese wines are cer-tainly unusual – many taste sour – but they’re captivating.

Unpopular doesn’t have to mean esoteric – there are plenty of fun, food friendly wines that simply haven’t caught on in the United States, even though they’re guaranteed hits. Austrian Grüner Veltliner, a white, and Sicilian Nero d’Avola, a red, are two varieties that’ll pair with virtually everything. Both work great if all your dinner companions have ordered something di� erent.

� e wine world is vast, so avoiding complacency is easy. You just have to embrace surprise.

It’s � anksgiving morning, friends and family are on their way to your house for dinner - and the turkey is still frozen.

But according to O. Peter Snyder, Jr., Ph.D., president of the Hospitality Insti-tute of Technology and Management in St. Paul, Minn. this could be a good thing.

Yep, you can cook the entire turkey - from the frozen state. � e FDA Food Code allows this, Snyder says.

Want to learn how to take your bird from the freezer to the dinner table? Fol-low these steps for a 12-to-13-lb. frozen turkey.

Start 5 to 5 1/2 hours before you want to serve the cooked turkey. Set the oven temperature at 325ºF. It is much better that the turkey be done 30 minutes before mealtime than to rush and serve an under-cooked turkey. Remove the wrapping from the turkey and put the turkey on a rack on a pan that has been covered with foil to

make cleaning easy. You can also cook the turkey in a cov-ered roasting pan if you have one.

Put the tur-key in the oven. Do not worry about the bag with the heart, liver, etc. in the neck cavity or the neck in the center of the turkey. � ey can be removed during cooking, a� er the turkey thaws. � ere will be Salmonella and Campylobacter jejuni bacteria on the turkey. However, because it is frozen, there is no drip, and transfer to hands or counter is not a signi� cant risk.

Cooking the turkey on a shallow pan on

a rack assures even cooking. Cooking in a pan with sides shields the bottom of the turkey from heat, and the cooking on the bottom will be non-uniform.

In the � rst 2 to 2 1/2 hours, the legs and

thighs get up to approximately 100ºF. � e breast, about 1 inch into the � esh, is still at the so� ice point, about 25ºF. At this point, begin to monitor breast temperature with a tip-sensitive digital thermometer as it thaws. You may also use a dial roast ther-mometer. Insert it into the breast, because it is the slowest cooking part.

A� er about 3 1/2 hours, the legs and thighs will be around 150 to 160ºF, and the breast, about 40 to 50ºF. � e bag of heart, liver, etc. and the neck can be removed at this time, to be made into stock, if desired.

At 4 1/2 to 5 hours, the turkey is nicely cooked. Check the temperature. � e leg and thigh should be tender and at a tem-perature of 175 to 185ºF, while the breast will be moist at a temperature of 160 to 170ºF. � e pop-up timer (if there is one) should have popped. Cooking turkeys to these temperatures is adequate to assure the reduction of Salmonella and Campy-lobacter jejuni to a safe level.

Not only is this an excellent way to cook turkey, but it also has bene� ts over

cooking a thawed turkey. If you thaw a turkey in a home refrigerator, there is a signi� cant risk of raw juice with patho-gens at high levels getting on refrigerator surfaces, other foods in the refrigerator, countertops, and sink, thus creating a hazard and a need for extensive cleaning and sanitizing.

� e second bene� t is that, because the breast has greater mass, it takes longer to thaw. � erefore, the thigh and leg are well cooked and tender, while the breast is not overcooked and dried out. � e breast will cook to a juicy 160-to-165ºF endpoint without di� culty.

To assure a quality and safe turkey, monitor the � nal temperature with a tip-sensitive digital thermometer, and always wash your hands before touching and han-dling the cooked turkey.

But what about the stu� ng? When the giblet bag is removed, the turkey can be stu� ed. You may need to wear silicone gloves to protect your hands because they turkey will be hot. As always, don’t overstu� the turkey and be sure to remove all of the stu� ng when the bird is done. Take the temperature inside the middle of the stu� ng: it should be 165ºF. And think about heating up the stu� ng before putting it in the turkey according to the directions in the Stu� -ing Science article for more safety.

Got a bigger bird? Old data from the USDA would say add 2 hours more at most, so 5 hours becomes 7 hours. And if you have to hold the cooked bird, make sure it stays above 130F.

It started as a series of secret shows in the back of a warehouse just off of Bel-Red Road.

Drum instructor Chase Culp was teaching lessons in a rented space next to Donn Bennett Drum Studio and was asked to help a new band practice for some upcoming performances.

When word got out, one band grew to a few - and what started as impromptu jams at the back of his studio, turned in to a series of weekly shows. Eventually, the acts outgrew the back room, and Culp was left with a new opportunity.

“We had the idea of taking kids and forming rock bands,” says Eric Snyder, Culp’s band mate and business partner. “At the time, there was really no one else in the North-west doing that.”

Twelve years, and many musicians later, the rock camps are still going strong.

school of rockThe camps - recently deemed Rock-It Music Academy - have become a sort of breed-

ing ground for musicians on the Eastside, with past students including members of former Eastside bands Daphne Loves Derby, This Providence and Gatsby’s American Dream (which has morphed into a new project called Kay Kay and His Weathered Un-derground).

Culp and Snyder currently operate three, eight-week long rock camps each year. The classes, offered to both beginner and advanced students, take place every Sunday. They also offer a series of one-week long summer camps.

“When I was 12, I was in a rock band, but we were terrible,” Snyder says. He and Culp agree that the camps are a great opportunity for budding musicians to

learn both the art, and business of playing music - from people who are actually live and breath it.

“It’s cool to be able to help these kids. And talk to them about what we’ve learned,”

Snyder says. In addition to doing regular lessons and running the camps, Culp and Snyder are

working musicians, playing drums and guitar, respectively, in Seattle-based post-grunge band the Crying Spell. Collectively, the pair have toured throughout the United States, Australia, Caribbean, and South America.

the studentsApproximately 65 percent of the students currently enrolled in the fall session also

take lessons with either Culp or Snyder - but it’s not a prerequisite for signing up. Addi-tionally, while some bands enroll in the camp as a group, there is also the option to sign up as an individual.

“On the first day, we listen to everyone play a song and kind of figure out their level - and ask them what kind of music they like,” Snyder says.

From there, the teachers break the kids up in to groups they believe will play well together.

“We try to find a good balance and keep the kids happy,” Snyder says. And although rock ‘n’ roll is the standard genre of choice, there is the opportunity to

explore genres outside of the rock spectrum. This fall, a jazz trio consisting of Interlake High School students Andrew Spearman, 17, Zach Sweetser, 17, and Stanley Ruvinov, 16 signed up for the camp.

Spearman heard about the camp from Culp during one of his regular drum lessons, and saw it as a great opportunity to practice with Sweetser and Ruvinov. The group first participated in the camp over the summer and while they dabbled playing Iron Maiden covers the first time around, this fall they’ve been focusing solely on jazz and blues.

the lessonsEach week, Culp and Snyder cover a range of topics - including rhythm section, dy-

namics and soloing. Beginners students focus first on learning the their instrument and progress to taking on cover songs.

“Some of the students in the beginners class are really good players, but have never played with other musicians,” Culp says. “And playing with other people is completely different than playing by yourself.”

The advanced students, who’ve either participated in the camp before or have experi-ence playing in a band, work on performance and creating their own material.

Culp also tries to bring in working musicians to come and work with the students at the rock camps. Past guests have included Scott Rockenfield (Queensryche), Michael Shrieve (Spellbinder) and Kenny Aronoff.

The show must go onCulp says one of the most rewarding things about teaching these classes is seeing how

drastically the young musicians can improve in just two months. “By the end of the camp I want them to get on stage and perform a complete song,”

Culp says. “I want to make sure they can perform it - and not just play it.”As such, the culmination of each session is a finale concert, which offers campers the

chance to perform live onstage in a concert for their friends and families. The public concert for the fall session will take place Sunday, Nov. 11 at Studio 7 in Seattle and costs $10.

Up next for Culp is expanding the rock camp, something he and Snyder have already started to do through their connections with Donn Bennett and Evolution Studios.

Culp has also begun to partner with local record labels and bands to get rock camp participants in to local shows. This January, Culp will also introduce a new audio-re-cording course led by producer Kelly Gray.

“It’s a whole different world. When I was a young musician, I didn’t have access to that,” Culp says.

The next Rock-It Music Academy session begins in January, but registration is open now through Donn Bennett Drum Studio. The cost is $300 per person for 8 sessions (billable @ $150 per four classes). If you sign up with a friend you receive $25 discount!

Sam Shoemaker, 11, plays drums during a rock camp class on Sunday, Oct. 14. In addition to playing with musicians at Rock-It Music Academy, Shoemaker plays in another band.

Benny Scholl, 14, signed up for the Rock-It Music Acamedy with his bandmates Nick Mihas, 14, and Nick Olson, 15. Known collectively as Avoid The Void, Scholl described their sound as Punk-metal.

For most of us that live in the Pacific Northwest those three(ish) magical months of sun seem to be a godsend. It’s what keeps us motivated during the gloomy weather the rest of the year. But for many Northwest natives, those three months aren’t enough.

Bellevue residents Bill and Judy Morton are definitely among those people. That’s why, as soon as the sun disappears, so does this pair of snowbirds - flee-

ing Washington for the winter months to soak in the sun. A travel writer for most of his career, Bill, 67, has spent a lot of his time travel-

ing to warmer places - including repeat visits to Mexico, Arizona and Argentina. But for the past 5 years, he and his wife have been heading to Indian Wells, Calif., where they own a second home.

“It’s hugely popular for Seattle people to go down there,” Morton says. He says this has a lot to do with the cheaper property costs - and the dryer

climate. Originally, the Morton’s shared ownership of a property with another couple,

but they decided to purchase their own home 18 months ago.“We see ourselves spending more like eight to nine months down there in the

future,” Morton says. Similar to the Mortons, Bellevue residents Bob and Lucie Fjealstead like to ditch

the gloomy winter weather for something on the sunnier side. The Fjelsteads first fell in love with Maui when they visited for their honey-

moon. After visiting several times they decided to purchase their first property in 1995 bought their first property. The condo served as the perfect escape for 14 years.

“We were looking for a third bedroom and a Lanai,” Bob says. In 2009 the couple purchased a condo at Honua Kai, a 628-unit resort located

on the world-famous Kaanapali North Beach that has become the Fjelstead’s home away from home.

In addition to warmer weather, the Fjelstead’s Maui digs offer a variety of activi-ties - something that keeps the outdoor enthusiasts and recreational photogra-phers more than occupied.

The resort also offers easy access to popular restaurant Duke’s - and is just a hop, skip and jump away from the beach.

Avid fans of the University of Washington Huskies, the Fjelstead’s generally stay on the Eastside through football season - what they consider to be the best time of the year to be here.

“And then we get to jump off and go to the beach for five months,” Bob says. But escaping to the beach doesn’t necessarily mean escaping from their life in

the Kirkland/Bellevue area. In fact, their place in Maui has become so popular with family and friends

that the schedule can get crazy at times. But the ends are far, far greater than the means.

Both the Fjealsteads and the Mortons admit there is a price to pay for the majes-tic scenery and milder weather associated with summers in the Pacific Northwest.

“The traffic is a lot worse - and everything feels a lot more hurried than down in the desert,” Morton says.

And while the spoils of Southern California have drawn them in, Morton says spending time in the desert has actually made him more accepting of the weather in Washington.

“We were up here in May and June when it was still rainy - and it didn’t bother me,” Morton says. “So many people were screaming, ‘When’s summer coming?’ But I knew that that in the desert is getting to be in the hundreds.”

He says that’s too hot.

A look at why this Eastside couple flees Washington for warmer weather during the wetter winter months

Heading south for the winter

Bill and Judy Morton left Washington to head to Indian Wells in mid-October. They’ll travel between their two homes every few weeks during the winter months.

The Pacific Northwest might not seem like the most obvious place to be an actor, but with theaters that continue to deliver quality material - and a plethora of talent to choose from - the Northwest is becoming one of the most sought after markets for new and exciting productions.

And as theaters in Sattle and the Eastside continue to garner nation-al attention, so too, are the actors who are helping to build them up.

The transplant Aaron C. Finley has been working as an actor in Seattle for the past

five years. Originally from Montana, Finley moved to Seattle in 2004 to pursue

a music degree at Trinity Lutheran College. While studying at TLC, he was cast in his first play, playing the title role in the musical, “Jo-seph and the Technicolor Dream Coat.”

During the course of the production, he was encouraged to audition for Village Theatre, a regional professional theatre in Issaquah, where he further developed his love for theater and decided to transfer to Pacific Lutheran University, where he graduated in 2009 with a Bach-elor of Arts in Acting and Directing.

“You are forever unemployed,” says Finley about the general incon-sistencies of the business. “The day you sign your contract, you sign your unemployment papers.”

And while Finley admits being an actor can be challenging finan-cial, he’s been lucky enough to land jobs pretty steadily.

In addition to working at Village Theatre, Finley has worked at the 5th Avenue, ACT, Showtunes, Artswest, Taproot Theatre, Centerstage and others. Most recently, Finely starred as Roger in the 5th Avenue Theatre’s production of “RENT.” Starting Nov. 7 the actor will star as Perchik in the Village Theatre’s production of “Fiddler on the Roof.”

While Finley has been lucky enough to make acting a full-time job, that wasn’t always the case. He says that early in his career, he would supplement his income by working shifts at Purple Cafe & Wine Bar in Seattle, owend by the Heavy Restaurant Group; he even helped to open the bar’s Bellevue locale, and has developed a strong relationship with their management team.

“They love that I do what I do - and are very flexible,” says Finley, who lives with his wife and two young children in Seattle. Finely says if he was ever in a bind, he could probably pick up some hours. In 2011, Finley also became an educator at the Village Theater’s KIDSTAGE Institute, where he teaches middle school and high school acting classes.

The travelerBorn and raised in Seattle, actress Christine Deaver spent several years working in

the theaters throughout the Greater Seattle area - including ACT, the Seattle Children’s Theatre and Teatro Zinzanni before moving to Los Angeles five years ago - where she currently works as an actor, writer, singer and voiceover artist.

Deaver explains that the theatre community in this area is very small, and tight-knit, it is still very competitive - especially for women.

“There are more women acting then men - so there is always an abundance of male parts,” she says.

And while Deaver insists that her heart remains in the Pacific Northwest, she moved to Los Angeles because she felt she had exhausted all her resources in the local theatre community.

“It got to the point where I either had to move to New York or LA - and it’s easier to start in LA than it is in New York,” Deaver says. “I figured, at least it would be warm

staying in your car.”Keeping with this theme, Deaver says she doesn’t know many actors who make a

living being a full time actor in Seattle - not because they aren’t talented, but because there aren’t a lot of opportunities for consistent work.

For the past five years, Christine has been starring in a number of productions at the Teatro ZinZanni theaters in Seattle and San Francisco (presently operating in Costa Mesa). Deaver is currently starring as Diva Gracie Hansen in Teatro ZinZanni Seattle’s production of “Return to Paradise,” (running through Jan. 27, 2013).

Keeping it local In regard to why the Northwest seems to have such a strong theater community,

Finley says it has everything to do with the local theaters. “The 5th Avenue and Village Theatre have really jumped in to this idea of fostering

new works - which isn’t done a lot in other cities,” Finley says. He says people are more willing to bring new material to these theaters because it’s

about as far away as they can get from the prying eyes of New York critics. It also gives producers the opportunity to test the new productions on an audience that appreciates and understands good theater.

Like Deaver, Finley has considered relocating to bigger markets to pursue his dream, he doesn’t feel that moving his family on a whim would be the best decision to make at this time. Especially because he’s developed a career here, and can find work on a regular basis. Plus, he says, the quality of life is a lot nicer in Seattle than New York.

“I’d rather live in a nice house here than in a tiny apartment in New York,” Finley says.

Another thing that keeps Finley in the area is the opportunity to be a member of the Actor’s Equity Association in Seattle. As a union member, Finley has a pension plan, 401k and health insurance - something most struggling actors dream to achieve.

“Because you can build relationships with the local theatres, it’s somewhat easier to get your equity card in Seattle,” Finley says.

And while that doesn’t neccessarily make landing a job any easier, the show must go on.

Keepin’ it Smoove

By Keegan Prosser

His claim to fame may be that he wrote the funniest skits to never make it on to “Saturday Night Live,” but actor/writer/comedian JB Smoove (real name Jerry Brooks) seems to be doing just fine.

Born in Plymouth, North Carolina and raised in upstate New York, Smoove began his TV career on Russell Simmons’s “Def Comedy Jam” in the early 1990s.

He’s since acted in a number of movies - includ-ing Mr. Deeds, Date Night, Hall Pass, The Sitter, We Bought a Zoo. and The Dictator.

Most recently, the funnyman lent his voice talents to “Ice Age 4,” and “Smurfs 2.”

However, his big break may have been his recurring role as Larry David’s eccentric buddy Leon Black on HBO’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

In addition to acting, Smoove runs comedy website TheRuckus.com, and continues to make waves on the stand-up circuit for his crass, yet relatable, jokes.

An avid fan of cars, pool and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, Smoove currently resides in the City of Angels with his wife and teenage daughter, yet he remains loyal to his East Coast roots - using his experiences in New York as the crux of his wildly inappropriate - and hilarious - act.

The Smoove-talker brings his Ruckus Tour to the Parlor Live Comedy Club Nov. 29- Dec.1.

A Cinderella night for Paci� c Northwest Ballet

Paci� c Northwest Ballet’s black-tie opening gala – � e Dream Continues – attracted

more than 400 patrons Sept. 21. Un-der the direction of event co-chairs

Alesha Shemwell and Sharon Rich-ardson, the 40th anniversary raised $340,000.

Committee members worked endlessly in creat-ing a memorable event.

� e evening began with a red-carpet walk to a private cocktail reception. � en guests were then “called” to dinner and escorted through gates into Cinderella’s Garden.

� e party décor was like a fairy tale dream come true with pump-kins, roses, topiaries, chandeliers, fabric and candles, which were creatively displayed to set the party mood.

Following dinner, guests enjoyed a one-time only performance with the special appearance of retired principal dancer Patricia Barker as the Ringmaster in Jerome Rob-bins’ Circus Polka. � is was then

followed by Cinderella that was choreographed by PNB’s founding co-artistic director Kent Stowell. PNB company dancer’s impressed the audience with their character roles and technical movements. � e gorgeous costumes by the late Martin Pakledinaz were breathtak-ingly beautiful.

After the performances Cin-derella’s celebration continued with an after party on the McCaw

Hall stage. While the clock hands slowly approached midnight, pa-trons, guests and company dancers celebrated PNB’s past, while anx-iously discussing the next 40 years under the continued leadership of PNB’s Artistic Director Peter Boal. Bravo PNB!

Feather brained or feather headStorytelling in all forms is a core parenting skill. And

just like playful rough-housing, what starts as an innocent tall-tale can devolve into a justi� able need

for a mommy timeout.O� en, when I am in the car with just one child, they

take full advantage of my inability to make eye con-tact and the chance to talk without interruption from irritating siblings.

� is past summer as my 8-year-old daugh-ter, Sistafoo, and I sat in stop-and-go tra� c on 520 she asked me if she could get a feather in her hair. I don’t have one, I don’t want one, but I don’t begrudge anyone else their right to wear one with peacock-like

pride. However the idea of sourcing, purchasing and then dealing with a feather in my own daughter’s tangle-prone hair sounded like a hassle. So instead of saying “no” I said “Why don’t you just wait for yours to grow in?”

I calmly explained that one of the other weird things that happens to girls as they grow up, is that between the ages of 10 and 14 they grow a feather near their hairline on one side of their scalp. I told her that a few might grow a blue tinted or pinkish red plume. � is all made perfect sense to her. And really, why wouldn’t it? Crazy things happen in puberty.

Telling my kids long and detailed tall-tales is not unusual. I do it all the time. What made this feathery tale di� erent is that I must have been distracted by a shiny object because I forgot to say “just kidding” before she got out of the car. I forgot about it entirely, until I heard her telling a playmate about it.

Whoops.To be fair, she was breaking a house rule by discussing

a sensitive topic like puberty, city politics or the graphic surgery shows she likes to watch on Animal Planet. But I realized that my silly little tale needed to be recalled.

And then I forgot about it – again.A� er school started, I waited on the playground for

Sistafoo and her Wednesday play date and I noticed, with some chagrin, that her sweet little friend had a feather in her hair near her le� temple. I decided to confess my story sin to nearby parents to get some advice on how and when to tell my daughter that I had allowed her live a misinformed life.

“Keep it short and sweet,” they advised. I am pretty sure they also suggested I videotape it, but maybe that was just my idea.

When Sistafoo and friend piled into the car she im-

mediately pointed to the feather in her classmate’s hair. I pointed my camera towards them as they gamely nestled their heads together for a fun video chat.

As I stumbled through my apologetic preamble Sistafoo chimed in “A feather can grow into your hair remember? She got one, my mom did! It was pinkish-brownish, but she had it so late, when she was old, so then they had to pluck it.”

“� at’s freaky!” shrieked her friend.Guilt consumed me even as I sti� ed giggles.I continued to stumble towards confession: “Here’s the

problem, Sistafoo. When we were driving that day and we were on the freeway, and it was a hot day, and I love you, and you’re fun and funny, and (looking at the friend) she has a really good sense of humor and she’s a good sport … so I think she is going to be okay when I tell her that I was making that up.”

Stunned silence followed by piercing yelps; “� at’s mean! � at wasn’t short and that wasn’t sweet!”

Fortunately though, as the dust settled, both girls agreed that a storytelling mom was better than a “so seri-ous mom.” But I have strict instructions to keep it to a car ride from now on. Permission to keep telling feathery tales is a huge relief to me.

I thought I was completely plucked.
