A common one is when someone tries to deep - fry a turkey for the first time. They might not know how to properly handle the hot oil. I've heard of cases where the oil overflows or even catches on fire. It can be quite a scary yet funny situation, especially when everyone is running around trying to put out the small fire and save the turkey.
One year, my aunt was trying to cook the turkey. She stuffed it with all kinds of delicious things, but she forgot to take out the plastic bag of giblets inside. When we cut into the turkey at dinner, there it was! We all had a good laugh about it.
Sure. There was this one Thanksgiving where my mom was making the stuffing. She got distracted by the parade on TV. She accidentally put in a whole cup of salt instead of a teaspoon. When we tasted it, our faces scrunched up in the most awful way. We all had a good laugh about it later, but at that moment, it was a shock. And we ended up ordering pizza for Thanksgiving dinner instead.
There was this time when I was baking a cake. I accidentally put salt instead of sugar. When I tasted the batter, it was so salty! My family had a good laugh when they saw my shocked face.
In a big family Thanksgiving gathering, the kids decided to put on a play about the first Thanksgiving. But they got all the facts wrong and made up their own version where the pilgrims were superheroes and the Native Americans were wizards. It was a complete mess but the adults loved it and it became the most talked - about part of that Thanksgiving. There were so many giggles and it was a really unique and funny way to celebrate the holiday.
One funny story is about the time my aunt tried to make a pumpkin pie from scratch. She accidentally added salt instead of sugar. When we took a bite, it was the saltiest thing ever! We all had a good laugh and ended up ordering a proper pie from the bakery.
A family always has a tradition of saying what they are thankful for during Thanksgiving. One year, the youngest member said he was thankful for the Wi - Fi so he could play his video games. It was so unexpected compared to the usual heartfelt statements that everyone found it really funny.
There was a student who wrote in an essay 'My mother is a angle'. Instead of 'angel'. When the teacher read it out loud in class for grammar correction, everyone had a good laugh. It was a simple mistake but made for a very funny moment. And it also shows how important proofreading is.
A woman was making her famous pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving. She accidentally used salt instead of sugar. When the family took a bite, they all made the funniest faces. She was so embarrassed but then they all started laughing. Another story is about a family who set up the Thanksgiving table outside in the garden. But then a flock of birds came and started eating all the food on the table. They had to run around chasing the birds away while trying not to laugh too hard.
At our Thanksgiving, we always have a family football game. One time, my uncle, who is a bit overweight, tried to make a touchdown. He ran so hard that his pants started to slip down. He didn't notice at first and kept running, with the whole family cheering and laughing. It was hilarious and has become a classic family Thanksgiving story.
One funny Thanksgiving story is about a family who decided to deep - fry their turkey for the first time. They filled the fryer with oil, but they didn't defrost the turkey completely. When they lowered the frozen - ish turkey into the hot oil, it caused a huge splash and the oil overflowed all over the patio. Luckily no one was hurt, and they ended up ordering pizza for Thanksgiving that year.
