I’ve named this Thanksgiving. I’m calling it “The Thanksgiving of Mom’s Disapproval.” Included on the two-record set are the hit songs “Why Aren’t You Married?” and “Sports Is No Place For An Educated Woman,” and “Didn’t Anyone Ever Tell You How To Cook A Turkey?”

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Dana names Thanksgiving like a record album, complete with hit songs. Each title is a nagging remark from her mom, from marriage to sports to turkey cooking. Turning family criticism into a track list is her funny way of coping with it.
