People Share Their Weirdest, Most Awkward Thanksgiving Dinner Moments

Every family has this one dad/uncle/grandpa who always says the most inappropriate things. They don’t mean harm – they just have a weird, old-fashioned sense of humor. They don’t realize that things that were once okay are now considered offensive and frowned upon. And if we try to bring it up with them, they call us prudes.

We’re not trying to change anyone, and we love these non-politically correct family members as they are, but it can result in some pretty awkward moments. This Thanksgiving story is a perfect example of such an awkward moment. To this day, this grandpa’s words remain “the most infamous words” in this family’s history, and this probably remains the most infamous Thanksgiving.
