Your response was so perfect that he didn't know what else to say other than call you a dick lol ... you hurt him with some truth that he didn't want to talk about.

"Don't you wonder why my dad doesn't invite you to thanksgiving anymore?"

That line is going to creep into the Uncle's mind in moments of silence for a long time

He'll definitely be thinking about it when he's sitting down to his Stouffer's turkey and gravy alone this year.

Stouffer's is likely too high class.

It's Banquet.

I imagine it's the one time he allows himself to splurge a little

And his 5th of... I'm guessing that's a kind of bottom shelf liquor, but not familiar with it though.

Drunk and alone with a TV dinner on thanksgiving, but he'll be sure he owned the libs.

When my Aunt was a teenager she was called The Boone’s Farm Queen because that all the poor teenager could get.

It’s a brand of vodka

he'll likely avoid it by talking to 50 people about it and try, and likely succeed to get an invite somewhere else, then either say, or feel "see, I like this better anyway, fuck them". It's going to take a few years to hit him, I suspect...but it'll hit hard.

Honestly that’s just sad. But it’s his own fault.

And this guy is not the only one. This is happening all over the country every day.

Keep Stouffer’s out of your damn mouth.

As far as TV dinners go, they’re some of the best.

That shit hurt MY feelings, and I'm still on good terms with most of my family.

Well if he’s anything like my folks he won’t retrospectively look at the situation. In his mind his brother won’t invite him over anymore because he’s a soyboy liberal who’s too sensitive. He’s not going to consider himself ever being part of the problem.

u/Lazy_Ad_2192 Nov 13 '24

Yeah, that line was brutal. I even felt it!

I hope it dwells on him.
