APhoto Of The Day — 11.16.11

After his classmates had all departed, Lash Corbett, 8, leans in for a final good-bye to his friend and future dinner, Tom , at Liberty Christian School in Walla Walla, Wash. Tom has been raised by the Corbett family and was brought to school for show-and-tell by Lash's mom, Shawna Corbett. Shawna explained the various parts of a turkey before letting students know that the big white turkey was a farm animal and would be heading to the butcher in two days. You write the cutline.
