Thanksgviving memories
Since it's that time of year again, I thought that I would make a Thanksgiving post. A lot of people are telling stories about their funniest Thanksgiving mishaps, so I thought I'd just share a couple of mine.
First, this one happened a couple of years ago. My mom ended up having to work the day of Thanksgiving, so we didn't end up having turkey until dinner. And my sister and my dad were in charge of taking care of the food. So my sister followed all of the instructions my mom left about the turkey, and we all sat down to dinner. As my dad got ready to cut the turkey, we all commented on how delicious it looked and how my sister did such a good job with it. Then, as soon as my dad took a knife to it, the turkey deflated! I couldn't believe it!
Another year my dad was in charge of making the turkey because my mom was sick. He was running around like crazy all morning trying to cook everything well, and then we smelled something burning. It was the turkey! Ohhh. He took it out of the oven and it was pitch black. That's ok we all thought, nobody really eats the skin anyways. It could still be good on the inside! But it wasn't! It was frozen! Burnt on the outside, frozen on the inside! Who would have guessed that was possible!
My first year back from college was a memorable Thanksgiving. My parents spent all morning cooking, as is usual, and I spent all morning in front of the TV, as is usual. That was the year my parents both brought their lawyers to dinner. That was a great Thanksgiving. I mean, emotionally it was terrible. But the turkey was so moist!
Then there was last year. We had Thanksgiving at my sister's house, and my mom and my sister were doing most of the cooking. Everything really did look pretty good, and it was a relief to see that my sister's cooking appliances worked. Well, when I bit into my stuffing, I bit into a rock! My sister had ran out of bread crumbs or whatever and had gotten gravel from outside to finish the stuffing! I lost 2 teeth!
Oh! There was also one year that we were all eating, and I think my dad had told a really funny joke. Well, we all started laughing really hard. I laughed so hard I started choking! I passed out because everyone was laughing too hard to give me the Heimlich. I think I was probably out for about 3 hours. Good times.
There is actually a good chance that none of these things actually happened.
