Overheard at Thanksgiving

“ummm…did we forget utensils?” (someone after the 16 of us finally sat down at the table.  Utensils were then brought to the table)

“Boys Gone Wild” (cousin Omid describing the video of my uncle running in the snow in his underwear)

“I can’t believe you’d even kill your own mother!  That is matricide!!”  (me to Sophia Nur during a game of Mafia)

“Tell the story where Nava refused to eat the soup!”  “I don’t know that one, but I remember when Nava refused to eat yogurt because it wasn’t white enough” (Me asking Omid to share childhood stories, his response)

“I couldn’t have killed anyone today, I was making the turkey all day!” (Mom)

“I would never ever lie to you — you are my daughter.  I would never lie to you — you are my son-in-law” (Mom, defending herself before being killed)

“I am sorry I lied to you both”  (Mom, after being killed in Mafia)
