Thanksgiving memory

Out of the eighteen Thanksgiving dinners that I have participated in, there is for sure one memory that sticks out in my mind, and that's when my mom turned our kitchen into a lake. You would never expect such a simple task to turn into a total catastrophe like this incident. Just like many families our family was hosting Thanksgiving this year and the preparation for the feast began early. My Mom, Aunts and Grandmas collected in the kitchen to start the cooking while the guys sat out back at our bar and watched football. My mom is usually the one that is praised for her delicious mashed potatoes, but this year was a little different indeed.

She began peeling the potatoes which you would think is the easiest part of making mashed potatoes but she never knew that potato peels don't work too well with garbage disposals. So she continued shoving the peels down the drain, turns on the disposal and what do you know...the disposal is jammed with potato peels and the sink drain is completely clogged. After about 10 minutes of trying to unclog the drain, the pipe under the sink built in pressure and eventually split causing a steady stream of water to shoot out. So of course everyones going nuts trying to fix this thing, while im standing there laughing at my dad try and fit under our sink. By the time someone got to the main water valve outside there was standing water in our kitchen, and a couple soaked indivuals. I mean for as un-eventful as Thanksgiving usually is, that memory definantly stuck out to me
