Also was going to bring sweet
potato pie – would french fries be all right?

Are you being serious?

Yes.

Then no.

How about potato chips?

How about a turkey? :-)

I’ll bring hash browns.

Planned on coming, but now my
relatives are flying in that weekend.

They can come too!
Guest 6:
You really don’t want that.

Yeah, that would be awkward. For
everybody.
Guest 7

Dibs on sweet potato pie!

We’ll bring brownies.
Guest 8

We’re coming! What do you guys need us to bring?
Host:
How about a turkey? :-)
Guest 8:
Are you trying to tell us that you don’t have the turkey?
Host:
…Maybe.
Guest 8:
Let me get back to you.
Guest 9
Replied: Yes (1 guest)
I can bring a tofurkey if you
want.

We’d rather you didn’t.
Guest 9:
Turducken?

That creeps me out.
Guest 9:
How about half a chicken?
Host:
Just bring some wine, please.
Guest 10
Replied: Yes (2 guests)
Sweet potato pie!
Host:
The next person to suggest that is uninvited.
Guest 10:
Is that a “No” then?
Host:
Corn on the cob would be great.
Guest 11
Replied: Yes (5 guests)
We can bring desserts! Apple pie, pumpkin pie, mincemeat pie, strawberry
rhubarb pie, any pie!
Guest
10: How about sweet potato? :-)
Host:
Does no one read the rest of the replies?!
Guest
8: I do. You guys don’t have a turkey.
Host:
Then bring one!
Guest
8: Why are you hosting a Thanksgiving party when you don’t even have the main entrée?
Host:
We’re just providing the venue! You guys
provide the food!
Guest
8: That only works in rental halls, not private residences.
Guest
10: Wait, does this mean I can bring the you-know-what pie, then?
Host:
Go back to sleep.
Guest 12
Replied: Yes (1 guest)
I earned a free frozen turkey at the
supermarket if you want it.
Host:
Thank you so much!
Host:
Soooo… does anyone know how to cook one of those things?
Guest
8: I recommend that we just have a meal of sides and desserts – the turkey is
immaterial.
Host:
Yes! Thank you! I can’t stand the pressure – this holiday is
about the company and the warm feelings and the happiness, dagnabbit! This will be the best pre-Thanksgiving ever
or else!
Guest
8: That’s the spirit.
