  • “My grandma asked how my aunt’s sex life was in front of the entire family on Thanksgiving.”
  • “At Thanksgiving dinner my uncle said ‘stop going in and out of the house.’ I said ‘stop going in and out of jail.’”
  • “I was helping pack leftovers for Thanksgiving. My great grandma told me not to pack too much because I don’t need to get any fatter. I’m 5’2 and 115 pounds…my boyfriend was standing right behind me.”
  • “Thanksgiving turkey fail. All my cousins were over for Thanksgiving and the turkey was ready so my uncle tripped over the dog and dropped the turkey out the window.”
  • “Last year my mom dropped the turkey while taking it out of the oven, then she looked at me and said ‘tell no one.’”
  • “My sister-in-law came for Thanksgiving and we got busted doing it in the basement.”
  • “My daughter peed on my parents' couch on Thanksgiving. I wiped it and flipped the cushion. They don’t know.”
