The Thanksgiving Clock Was Always Late

A couple invited their family over for Thanksgiving night to spend the holiday and meal together.

The family gathered, but the couple’s children were late, and the mother-in-law complained aloud, “Ugh, your children, always late.”

Eventually, everyone sat down to eat, and the mother-in-law insisted on sitting at the head of the table – no one had the strength to argue with her. After a few minutes, the hungry mother-in-law began to complain: “What’s with the food here? Why is it always late?”

A short time later, the couple brought out the meal they had prepared for their family, mostly cooked by the wife. Everyone loaded their plates with food, and the evening continued. While they are in the middle of their main course, the mother-in-law said, “I’d better start clearing the dishes so we can at least move on to the last dish on time.”

A mere second after she got up, the large wall clock hanging over the head of the table fell down, reducing her chair to pieces and almost hitting her. Everyone was in shock until the bride mumbled to herself: “This clock… always late.”
