My sister, my cousins, and I were at the \u201ckids\u2019 table\u201d in the kitchen while the adults were in the dining room, so no one significant noticed anything except me. My mom had warned us not to disturb the adults during dinner, so I quietly walked to the dining room and stood silently for a minute or two until someone noticed me. Only then did I politely say, \u201cSorry, but the kitchen\u2019s on fire.\u201d My mom still gives me grief about prioritizing politeness over common sense.\n\n\n<div class='\"fe475c3f28885ceec1f1\"' tabindex='\"-1\"'>\n<div data-test-id='\"article-image-7\"'>\n<picture class='\"b10992b7e7307cb7c32f\"'><source srcset='\"https:\/\/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li\/resize\/728x\/webp\/141\/fd4\/75255f516fb3531da9d2548ddc.jpg.webp' type='\"image\/webp\"'></source><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' id='\"image28038094\"' class='\"e33ce0f82f0e7404cc63\"' title='\"\"' src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/wl-brightside.cf.tsp.li%5C/resize%5C/728x%5C/jpg%5C/141%5C/fd4%5C/75255f516fb3531da9d2548ddc.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"728\"' height='\"485\"'>\n<div class='\"bf0a2e8fd2dd44f1e1c9\"'>\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From bizarre surprises to chaotic disasters, these actual stories depict the unpredictable side of Thanksgiving, transforming a simple feast into a memorable but disastrous show.
