So I went to my parents for Thanksgiving

It's challenging when you don't have much in common with family. It sounds like you made the best of it, though. Maybe next time bring a board game or something? I plan to bring my Fluxx deck home with me this trip, just in case. It's a way to interact without having to be creative about conversation. Would they be open to something like that?

I know my parents have some board games, but I couldn't get anyone interested. It's hard when you have the best interactions with a four-year old who doesn't even speak the same language.

I hope your trip is great.

Thanks for posting about your get-together. It prompted strong (mostly pleasant) memories of similar family gatherings with my in-laws' family back when we were all younger and lived near-by. We *like* each other well enough, but have no common basis for conversation.
