What is your most embarrassing Thanksgiving memory?

“The first time I cooked the turkey, I left the giblets inside the
turkey in a paper bag and we didn’t find them until the turkey was carved. My parents still harass me about that.”

“When I was 11 my uncle had let me know that he was going to surprise me with a pair of cleats that I had been begging for. Right before the Thanksgiving meal when all the family was gathered round, he handed me the box and I tore open the cover. Inside was a pair of 99 cent ballerina slippers for a three year old girl. The entire family laughed. I wanted to die.”

“One Thanksgiving, when I was 9, I had been up with my cousins all night the night before, so I was wicked tired. I fell asleep at the table
with my face flopped in the food.”

“When I was 16, I brought my conservative catholic jazz-musician boyfriend up from private school for Thanksgiving with my liberal dysfunctional family. During dinner my family kept making thier usual grotesque and inappropriate jokes, topping it off with a comment from my father about my sister’s “non-existant virginity.” My boyfriend never came back to our house for the holidays.”
