Fish posted another thread about Thanksgiving here 2020 Thanksgiving Dinner but it made me think about a crazy story I remember from many years ago.
My mom worked with a woman who was putting on a Thanksgiving dinner for her family. The woman putting on the meal had provided most everything and others brought a few things. The woman's brother and his wife came with a couple of kids and brought a ham. When everyone was sitting around the table and passing the food, someone took a chunk of ham. They were clearly notified by the brother's wife that they had brought the ham and it was for them. Of course, they had no problem taking food provided by the host and others, but they only brought the ham for themselves.
I'd have reminded them they didn't bring the other food, table, chairs, and house, but they were free to use the door.
What strange things have happened at your Thanksgiving get-togethers?
