Ah, Thanksgiving. There’s the food prep, the house prep, the deeply crazy family dynamics. Then add to the mix YOUR KIDS and it’s… an experience. The funny parents of Twitter are on it.
I asked my husband to add some things that we needed for Thanksgiving to the shopping list. When I got to the store I realized he’d just written ‘Thanksgiving Stuff’ and if that doesn’t perfectly sum up marriage then I don’t know what does.

Listen, if you are going to someone's house for Thanksgiving, compliment their baseboards. That is what they are spending today cleaning.

Make a "thankful tree" so you can burst a blood vessel waiting for your child to come up with something to write on a paper leaf.

I love Thanksgiving. Can't wait to slave for hours over a meal my kids will rudely reject in front of relatives who are judging my parenting

serious thanksgiving question: when a family member's telling a tragic story and everyone's crying, how long should i wait before taking a bite of my pie?

6-year-old: Why do we have to have turkey at Thanksgiving?
Me: That's what the pilgrims ate.
6: I wish the pilgrims ate pizza.

My desire for eating out for our Thanksgiving meal or at least using paper plates and paper cups intensifies with each passing year.

I wonder how long I’ll be at Thanksgiving dinner before my mom asks me to fix her computer.

What is the age cap on leaving Thanksgiving early and blaming it on your kids needing a nap?
Asking for me.

Let's get married & have kids so instead of enjoying Thanksgiving dinner you can make sure no food touches on her plate while I microwave him a hotdog.

Me, before kids: This is dumb, we should get the whole week off.
Me, with kids in school: Do they really need the day after Thanksgiving off, too?

my favorite day is the day after thanksgiving, when I twitter search the words "hot cousin" and see all the people who have crushes on their cousins
