What Not To Say: 18 Thanksgiving Conversation Mistakes In MN

Have you ever had one of those moments where you say something you wish you could take back? I am that person in the family who doesn't always have the best filter. Example...once when I was at my in-laws, I asked who was in the urn that was sitting on a shelf in the dining room.

It wasn't an urn. It was just a decorative vase. I had, what the experts call, "Foot In Mouth Syndrome".

This Thanksgiving, as you are enjoying pumpkin pie, turkey, and all of the delicious sides, do this if you are prone to saying things you shouldn't...keep stuffing your mouth with food.

Use it as a guide for yourself...or text it to that family member who needs it. (You know who they are.)
