Thanksgiving brings with it a whole host of wonderful things. Delicious food, a couple of well-deserved vacation days and visits from far-flung family members. I have always gotten along really well with my family, both the immediate version as well as the extended clan. However, after appetizers, multiple plates of turkey, three wedges of pie and several glasses of wine, conversation can sometimes get, well...a bit honest.
Those situations call for carefully planned comebacks and the girls over at Elastic Waist have got you covered. They've put together a list of Top Ten Comebacks for Well-Meaning but Obnoxious Relatives. They are mostly food-related, including such gems as
- Oooh, do you really think you need another biscuit? "I don't need it. I WANT it."
- Do you know how many calories that has? "Yes, and I'm looking forward to every one of them."
May is National BBQ Month and National Hamburger Month
Cupcakes, not for dessert (unless beef is your idea of a treat)
Because eating French Fries in the car is so tough

Those relatives sound like a bunch of passive-aggressive people. There is a side of family, including an aunt that everyone hates that are totally like that. We just stopped associating with them all together after my uncle passed away.
