Carson Family 2027 Thanksgiving

A few weeks before Thanksgiving
[Daryl and his kids are at the grocery store shopping for stuff for Thanksgiving]

Daryl: "Let's see what's on our list: A bag of Thanksgiving turkey, Stove Top stuffing, Two pies, one apple pie, the other pumpkin pie, Cool Whip to use for the pie, cranberry sauce, Mashed potatoes and gravy..."

[Daryl gets everything that's on the list]

Daryl: "Anybody excited for Thanksgiving?"

Carly: "We sure are."

Daryl: "What do you say we get some ice cream on the way home?"

Nick: "I think that sounds like a good idea."

[Daryl and the kids stop at Baskin Robbins]

Daryl: "Hey, Claire bear, how's your ice cream?"

Claire: "Delicious, Daddy."

Daryl: "That's good. I hope you're on your best behavior and you don't ruin Thanksgiving like you ruined Halloween, Claire."

Claire: "I promise, I will be on my best behavior."

[We see crossed fingers behind Claire's back]

2 days before Thanksgiving
[Andrew and the other kids get home from school]

Andrew: "Dad, look, I made a Thanksgiving centerpiece. See?"

[Andrew shows Daryl the centerpiece]

Daryl: "Wow, that looks good."

Andrew: "Can't wait to show everybody on Thanksgiving."

A day before Thanksgiving
[Andrew and the others race home from school]

Daryl: "So, Carly, so what do you say that we shop on Black Friday?"

Carly: "I agree. Black Friday is the shopping day after Thanksgiving."

Paige: "That's right."

[The kids come in]

Daryl: "Anybody ready for Thanksgiving tomorrow?"

Danny: "We sure are."

Thanksgiving day
[Daryl and the kids head off to Aunt Gabby's house for Thanksgiving, Sean and Michael are already there]

Grandpa Eugene: "Hello, kids. How are my grandkids doing?"

Rachel: "We're doing good, Grandpa."

Daryl: "Everything's ship-shape, Dad."

Grandpa Eugene: "Cool."

[Daryl, Grandpa Eugene, Uncle Phil, Uncle Steve, Uncle Nicholas, Aunt Theresa, Aunt Delilah, Aunt Gabby, Uncle Carter, Uncle Toby and Uncle Randy are cooking dinner]

[Claire and her siblings and cousins are watching a movie in the playroom called Winnie the Pooh: Seasons of Giving]

[Sean, Michael, Carly, Paige, Nick, Jacqueline, Blake, John, Denise, Aaron, Derek, Bobby, Jack and Stu are watching the Thanksgiving football game]

Daryl: "Hey, Sean, Mikey, how's the game?"

Michael: "It's going good."

Thanksgiving dinner
[On the table is mashed potatoes, creamed corn, turkey, jello salad, green salad, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, Stove top stuffing, butter and rolls]

Daryl: "Everybody, dinner is served."

[The rest of the family come to the table to have their Thanksgiving dinner]

Daryl: "Anybody intend to give thanks?"

[Michael raises his hand]

Daryl: "Okay, Michael. You do it."

Michael: "Bless this meal, bless this day and bless this family. Bless God for everything we have. Amen."

Everyone: "Amen."

Andrew: "Everybody, before we eat, I have something to show you all."

[Andrew gets out his Thanksgiving centerpiece]

Andrew: "I made this in school a couple days ago as a project."

Uncle Randy: "How wonderful, Andrew."

Carly: "It looks good."

[Everybody eats their dinner, Claire throws mashed potatoes at Danny]

Daryl: "Claire, do you remember your promise? You promised to be good."

Claire: "Oh, yeah. I am."

[Danny throws the mashed potatoes at Claire]

Claire: "Hey, who threw those mashed potatoes at me? Danny boy, I knew it was you. I'll show you what aim and precision is all about."

[Claire picks up another scoop of her mashed potatoes and tries to throw it at Danny, but it instead hits Rachel]

Rachel: "Claire! Danny! How dare you hit me with mashed potatoes!"

Aunt Gabby: "Kids, we're at the table. No food fights."

Rachel: "I'll show you."

[Rachel picks up a scoop of mashed potatoes and flings it at Carly]

Carly: "Rachel, you of all people. This is an outrage."

[Everybody keeps flinging mashed potatoes at everybody and Claire throws creamed corn at her cousins]

Claire: "FOOD FIGHT!"

[The food fight continues, and it ends when an impact of creamed corn knocks a clock over, breaking the glass]

[Aunt Gabby's Japanese Chin dog, Ming-Ming, runs away in fright]

Daryl: "Claire, that was Aunt Gabby's favorite clock. Can you apologize for it?"

Claire: "NO!"

Daryl: "Right! Timeout, immediately."

[Daryl marks the hallway as the Naughty Corner]

Daryl: "You have been placed here for 3 minutes because of what you did to Aunt Gabby's favorite clock. So stay right there."

Aunt Gabby: "Poor Ming-Ming, did that loud noise scare you, my precious?"

[Claire gets up and snatches Andrew's centerpiece from the table and throws it in the fireplace]

Andrew: "Ah! No! My centerpiece!"

[Andrew watches helplessly as his centerpiece starts to burn, but Aunt Gabby puts out the fire and Daryl grabs it out with a pair of tongs]

Andrew: "My centerpiece!" (sobs)

Claire: "Ha Ha!"

Daryl: "Claire Evelyn Carson! It took your brother seven days to make that centerpiece! What were you thinking?"

Claire: "It sucked anyway, Daddy!"

Daryl: "That's it. Starting now, you're grounded for the rest of Thanksgiving break. No PC, no Winnie the Pooh, no video games, no friends, no nothing."

Claire: "NO! I WANNA WATCH WINNIE THE POOH!"

Daryl: "Well, you should've thought of that before you broke Aunt Gabby's favorite clock, and before you burned Andrew's centerpiece."

[Claire kicks Daryl in the privates, then punches him and hits him with a toy baseball bat]

Claire: "That's what I think of this stupid punishment!"

Daryl: "You made a promise, and you let me down. Come on, kids, let's go."

Quinn: "Where are we going?"

Daryl: "We're leaving."

[Daryl gets the kids into the station wagon and they drive home, and Daryl confiscates all of Claire's toys]

[Claire flips off Daryl]

Claire: "VICIOUS LITTLE MOTHER(bleep)ER!"

Daryl: "You do not use that type of language towards me, missy. That is not very nice."
