proudly ruined thanksgiving

Funny little story I thought would be fun to share. Me and my mom’s side of the family went over to my grandparents house for Thanksgiving. My grandparents invited an older couple from their church with us.

I went and stood beside my brother as they were all speaking, and the older woman looked at me and said “are you two brothers?” I smiled and said yes (I’m pre-everything so this is a win), but my grandma instantly corrected her, telling her I’m the middle daughter and used my deadname.

But this old woman would not stop calling me he, son, brother, etc. all in reference to me and my grandmother was in shambles trying to stop it (we are deep bible belt southerners and she is a MAGA white christian). The woman’s husband also joined in to try and say something but she wouldn’t stop.

My grandma is now upset. The woman is clueless. I had to excuse myself to the bathroom from laughing.

Happy Thanksgiving!
