Thanksgiving is nearly here, and to help you prepare we’re sharing “The Cranberry Sauce Has Something to Say,” a hilarious Daily Shouts by the writer and comedian Will Stephen. Holiday meals can be a fraught experience—including, it turns out, for the side dishes. At the urging of its therapist, the cranberry sauce is using the occasion to air its grievances: primarily about its status as the most maligned and forgotten item on the menu. “That’s me: Thanksgiving’s Elephant Man. Just the cold, wet afterthought to a piping-hot feast cooked with patience and love,” the cranberry sauce complains. “Here to jiggle for you, to be cut with a spoon, and to silently weep.” However you observe—or don’t observe—the holiday, we hope you enjoy this collection of humor pieces. Happy Thanksgiving (and don’t forget to bring the cranberry sauce). |
