Thanksgiving at Tealy's house was a catastrophe of epic proportions.
The chaos began the moment everyone arrived. Dird, dressed as if it were Halloween, carried a pumpkin pie that looked suspiciously like it had been stepped on. DumbDird burst through the door holding an empty cereal box over his head like a trophy, loudly proclaiming, "DUH, I BROUGHT FOOD!"
Blara immediately made herself at home by plunging her entire head into a bag of chips, crunching away noisily. Bayla sat on the couch scrolling Facebook, not even acknowledging anyone, and Beric was trying to fix the smart lightbulb in the living room—despite no one asking him to.
Tealy, with forced enthusiasm, clapped his hands.
"Okay, everyone! Let’s gather around the table! It’s Thanksgiving, and I—"
Before he could finish, DumbDird plopped the empty cereal box in the middle of the table like it was the main course.
Tealy (exasperated):
"That’s not even... never mind."
Everyone shuffled awkwardly to their seats. Blara refused to remove her head from the chip bag, so she just sat there munching loudly. DumbDird stared blankly at the table, occasionally giggling at nothing. Bayla half-heartedly muttered, "Happy Thanksgiving," while still glued to her phone.
Tealy tried to salvage the moment.
"So, uh... what’s everyone thankful for?"
The silence was deafening.
Finally, DumbDird raised his hand dramatically.
"DUH, I’M THANKFUL FOR THIS EMPTY BOX!"
He proceeded to toss it in the air, where it hit the ceiling fan and ricocheted into Blara's chip bag, spilling chips everywhere.
Tealy’s chair creaked ominously as he shifted uncomfortably. He leaned back to avoid a stray chip, and the chair gave out beneath him with a loud CRACK! He crashed to the floor, flipping the entire table in the process.
The turkey flew through the air in slow motion, landing squarely on Tealy’s face. He screamed, flailing wildly, before grabbing the turkey and chucking it out the nearest window.
Tealy (fuming):
"That’s it! Thanksgiving’s canceled!"
Everyone took that as their cue to leave.
Dird mumbled something about needing to water his plants, Beric grabbed a stray piece of stuffing on his way out, Bayla didn't even look up from her phone, and Blara shuffled out still munching chips.
As Tealy slumped onto the floor in defeat, DumbDird waddled over.
"DUH, TALLY, YOU FORGOT DESSERT!"
Before Tealy could react, DumbDird dragged him to the bathroom, shoved him into the toilet, and flushed.
Somewhere, as he spun down the pipes, Tealy swore he could still hear DumbDird shouting,
"DUH, HAPPY THANKSGIVING!"
Ain't no way she canceled the Thanksgiving
