re: Yearly Thanksgiving Play By Play Gamethread

My aunts first husband (she’s on #5 at this point) is still close with his ex Mother-in-law and was tasked with driving her to our house for Thanksgiving (his kids were coming to my parents house, as their mom, his ex lives out of town, they were married for 15 years it’s not really weird to have him around).

He’s a good guy but a mess, constantly switching jobs, been to rehab etc. lovable loser type.

We sit down for dinner, I’m going around the table pouring red wine for everyone and ask him if he wants a glass, he says sure. His ex-MIL immediately snaps “you know you can’t drink”. He responds “yeah I went to rehab, the first thing they tell you is you don’t have to obtain, you just have to learn to moderate, I have glass of wine every now and then to stay normal”

At this point, I know it’s going to be good.

For the next hour + he proceeds to tell us about his online girlfriend he met in Gana on plentyoffish.com (she’s in her twenties - if she even exists) how they are going to get married he’s going to get her into college in the states for free, bc he’s a janitor at a private college and spouses go for free. She’s going to take care of him in his old age. Etc etc etc. He even starts showibv us half nude pictures of some supposed women in Gana.

The best part was my mom was sick so didn’t eat with us so me and brothers were able to egg him on the whole time - my dad was just laughing and shaking is head. By far my most memorable thanksgiving meal.
