Another Thanksgiving Memory

Hilarious! Picture 10 adults sitting around the Thanksgiving dinner table. Clay (our 7 yr old) is finished, and sitting 10 feet away on the couch. There is one person talking while we are intently eating. All of the sudden out of our peripheral vision, we see something fall from the ceiling and land in the plate of a guest that is new to our home – a distant relative. We all look up to see what fell. For 5 seconds there is not a sound, because we are all looking in disbelief at a used sock, lying upon her mashed potatoes. After I choke, turn neon pink and apologize profusely; she removed the sock, said “it’s perfectly alright, I've had children” and started to laugh. With that moment of tension graciously removed, the whole table completely lost it. For 10 min. A memory definitely was made this Thanksgiving.
