Real Things Relatives Said to Us This Year at Thanksgiving

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Bentley chapter.

1. *Turns to grandpa*

“So, grandpa, are you excited now that Trump got president?”

*Entire family starts screaming not to talk about politics*

*Grandpa under his breath*

“He’s going to make America great.”

2. “You are dating yourself and you need a boyfriend who does the talking for you.”

3. “You will never get a boyfriend because you are too mean and nobody will be able to handle your personality.”

4. *At the end of the evening when everyone is saying goodbye*

“Hi, how are you? Are you drunk?”

Note: *I was completely sober and he was hammered*

5. “Oh my gosh! I can’t believe I waited this long to ask you this, do you have a boyfriend yet?!”

Me: “Still no.”

6. *Is extremely full after eating own weight in Thanksgiving food*

Me: “Ugh, I am so full. Mom, feel my food baby.”

Mom: *Feels food baby*

“That belly is not just from this dinner.”

*Looks pointedly at me*

7. *Relative wants to watch the world burn*

“So, who did everyone vote for?”
