When the family gathers around the turkey table this Thanksgiving, they'll
all take turns saying what they're thankful for this year. Here's what
they plan on saying.
AUNT EDITH: That Uncle Frank made it to dinner without making a total
embarrassment of himself.
UNCLE ALBERT: I'm thankful for all the nice apologies I received from
everyone after the unfortunate death of my lover, Admiral Halsey.
GRANDPA HANK: That the dog stopped stealing my ideas for a flying ice
cream truck.
COUSIN NIKKI Age 12: That I got my first period.
COUSIN BECCA, Age 16: That I got my period.
UNCLE BOB: Aunt Steve
UNCLE JOE: As yet, no appearance on America's Most Wanted.
COUSIN OLIVER: I'm thankful no one thinks I'm a jinx anymore!
BROTHER-IN-LAW BARRY: That we'll be having Christmas dinner with my
family, where we don't have forced-rituals of awkwardness.
MOTHER IN LAW EVELYN: That everyone signed their wills BEFORE eating my
cranberry sauce. MWA HA HA HA HA HA!
