<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I've started getting our house ready for Thanksgiving.  We will be having 13 guests, so I set two separate tables a "kids' table" and an "adults' table."  Mind you, the kids' table's youngest guest is 23... except for my 7-month-old niece, Sam.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
