Well, survived another Thanksgiving with "the uncomfortables"...my in laws.
Chris and Kelly have quit coming. They've been on the soft exit strategy for a couple years now. They always take "cruises" which we think are made up just so they dont have to come.
Ofcourse my MIL, of 25 years, didnt speak to me, her daughter, or grand daughter. She definitely didnt say anything about my wife's amazing 75lb weightloss transformation...I mean, why would she, its only your kid.
Its a windy, brisk, 42 degrees outside and grandma had the A/C running full blast. Everyone was shivering which is the major change from the normal 92 degree sauna in her house which is why we all dressed cool. However, Grandma kept insisting that I removed my Jacket. No thanks, I'm good. Got home and took a hot shower to get my core temp. back up.
Grandpa did speak to my daughter which is cool because he normally doesn't. He told her that she needed to go back to work at the store she left (because of college) so that they could continue to use her stolen employee number to get store discounts. Apparently, the last trip when they went to use it, they realized she didnt work there anymore. He kept it short. Thats was all he said. Didnt ask about Grad school or anything. Why would you do that?
Right in the middle of the awkward silence of dinner, Aunt Vickie starts to tell how Buddy (Her husband that was the step father to her ex husband) had surgery and had a "bowel movement" and "messed himself." Thankfully, she said it wasn't that bad.
Pretty good year though, only 2 passive aggressive comments were made by my MIL....only 1 was about my job. She didnt talk the rest of the time.
My wild ghetto ass step daughter only told the story three times of how she got banned from TikTok for...not sure, something about twerking.
My sister in law choked on the macaroni. I mean she was legit choking. Instead of trying to help her, 4 people just kept asking "what did she choke on" as though that had some affect on how to help her. Which, by the way, is the most that I've ever heard her actually say. Well, technically she was gasping, but its still the most that I've ever heard her. She ended up fine and went back to being strangley silent again.
I think the best of all is my, asshole non-christian FIL that always gets prayer duty pulled up the wrong "standard prayer list." He pulled out the Christmas version, stumbled when he started thanking God "for the birth of his.....the Thanksgiving of this country." Not really sure what "Thanksgiving of this country" means, but hell, lets go with that.
Oh yeah, and someone in the other room made a random loud noise that sounded like a screaming goat. We didnt even ask.
I dont know if yall have those "Hallmark Thanksgivings" at your house, but we dont.
