Thanksgiving Chaos: A Family Comedy

Family gatherings are actually psychological warfare disguised as dinner parties. Last Thanksgiving

proved this when my aunt decided to surprise everyone by bringing her new boyfriend who

turned out to be my mom's ex from high school. The tension was so thick you could

cut it with the carving knife. My dad kept aggressively offering him more turkey while my

mom stress-cleaned the same plate seventeen times. Meanwhile, my cousin started

live-tweeting the whole disaster from the bathroom. The boyfriend had no idea why everyone

was acting weird and kept complimenting my mom's cooking to my dad. By dessert,

my grandmother was taking bets on who would crack first. Plot twist: it was me.
