feef,

You only have dinner once a year?

rbesfe,

They probably meant thanksgiving dinner, which they have over a month after the real thanksgiving for some reason

wrecksalot,

my conservative relativemanaged to get through the entire thing with the only argument being her insisting that I have more pie. I am extremely thankful this thanksgiving.

Bit of a late reply: My sister got upset with me because I don’t watch the news so I can’t be angry and scared with her, while she does and also doom-scrolls, which I keep telling her to stop doing because it’s bad for her health to be so stressed out, and she has enough to be stressed about with how badly behaved my nephews are.

brutalbeard,

Father in law says Gaza should be turned to glass.

Tar_alcaran,

We don’t do thanksgiving over here in the Netherlands, but we DID just elect a bunch of super conservative xenofobes as the largest party, so I’ll give you one guess.

GrayBackgroundMusic,

Child 1 said their friend did a thing. Child 2 then started they did that too, but better. Said friend was not present, but somehow child 2 was still trying to compete with them. Smh

Kids, am I right?

Ookami38,

Whether we should cook the turkey medium or medium rare. Medium rare won, thank God. /S

Almost had me with that. Glad you decided to put that /S at the end.

Ookami38,

Almost got to drop the “well, pass the arsenic, that’s natural” line, but the conversation got derailed before it reached that.

Tar_alcaran,

I personally like “hungry bears are natural too, but I don’t keep any of those of in the kitchen either”

Godric,

Post-dinner, boys went downstairs and argued about football bets and whether or not the losers of a card game had to take shots.

Girls upstairs, I’m told and overheard, had a passionate discussion with Grandma about gay people.

Usul_00_,

One more vote for ‘better to be male’

IHadTwoCows,

Well ours didnt last long, but it was about whether or not gummy bears expand in salt water.

Thankfully the science curriculum of British Columbian universities have settled this already.

BarrelAgedBoredom,

Don’t leave us hanging! What’s the verdict?

GhostTheToast,

They shrink accordingly to this

Seems to be a big homeschool experiment

IHadTwoCows,

They absorb water through osmosis when sugar is added, and shrink when salt is added

Well, do they?

xkforce,

There wasnt one. I just had thanksgiving with my mother and we agree on the impprtant things. The only issue is that a lot of students wanted me to tutor them RIGHT NOW. Nope. Not today. You can go find someone else to help you today.

eran_morad,

Mom bullshitting about vaccines. In a house where the owners are both scientists.

MataVatnik,

My brother does this, the other 5 of his immediate family are in the life sciences.

Lemminary,

My aunts so this, and I feel like I studied STEM in vain.

Touching_Grass,

Cool, so you guys told her how vaccines work and she totally listened and grew that day in both knowledge and as a person right?

eran_morad,

Lolbruh

Tar_alcaran,

I should get a small-sized copy of my degree, just so I can slap it down on the table and ask “where’s yours then?”

Gingerlegs,

My sister claimed Bill Gates is making Tyson chicken use crushed up crickets in their breading on their chicken nuggets.

I’m stealing this. That’s fucking hilarious.

threelonmusketeers,

That sounds like a great idea. More protein, less carbs, and likely a lower carbon footprint.

xkforce,

Considering chickens eat a lot of bugs, that seems like an excellent way to cut out the middleman

postmateDumbass,

the middleman

The middlechicken

TaterTurnipTulip,

That came up on Alex Jones recently. So, uh, sorry, your sister is likely listening to InfoWars or something adjacent. My condolences.

lyth,

I could believe it. Not because of weird antisemitic-adjacent conspiracy theories but because Tyson chicken already tastes like my front yard

shinigamiookamiryuu,

I did not have a dinner this year. It was to involve Niagara Falls, but then the car explosion occurred yesterday and the fear of terror deterred any activity today except the flurries that surround me.

Whether or not that song “Lil Boo Thang” is sampling “Best of My Love” by The Emotions.

It is, and I think my mom even realized she was in the wrong, but she kept playing dumb. Mostly because she knew how much it was driving my sister and I batty.

Thankfully it wasn’t really an argument, just a goofy conversation.

corsicanguppy,

Mostly because she knew how much it was driving my sister and I batty.

We could be related, you and me. My family lives to needle one another when it’s not serious.

Cap,

Wow just looked up that song. You are 100% right.
