#25: The Leftovers
For better or worse, families all have their own insider language. Things can go unsaid or be subtly hinted at, and everyone in the family will inherently understand. This guy’s family has one of those unspoken forms of communication regarding Thanksgiving leftovers. When it came to dividing up the rest of the turkey, he learned what his family really thought about him.
Every year, his family “subconsciously” gives the most leftovers to the person they think is doing the worst in life that year. Here’s the zinger: he’s gotten the most leftovers for the past six years. Ouch. Using quotations around the word “subconsciously” makes us think the leftover portions are pretty deliberate. At least he gets the most turkey!
