Thanksgiving

Prompt: Snow wanted us to write about a funny Thanksgiving memory.

I don't remember Thanksgiving being funny but there was no drama. I drank a glass of wine with the meal when I was fourteen. My mother was fine with this. We all celebrated with a glass of wine.

My uncle kept asking my aunt to get salt, turn the light on brighter and she bowed and said: "Yes, Your Highness."

The electricity went out on Thanksgiving day. My husband turned on the generator and it didn't work. A friend of mine, Sue had died in a car accident and this is going to sound strange but I feel Sue was following me around at work and home. I said: "Sue, if you are here, make the generator come on. " It came on! I just felt Sue's presence and I would hear her keys jingling at work and the mug she drank out would appear at my desk at work. A musical Teddy Bear she had left at work would start talking. It was a talking teddy bear. The other girl I worked with felt Sue was with us. Sue finally crossed over.

My aunt burned a ham at Thanksgiving and her husband hung the bone on the oven door to remind her that she had burned the ham. Guess this is all my funny happenings at Thanksgiving.
