Best Excuses for Turning Down Leftovers

Wednesday, November 26, 2008

Momlogic's Jenny: It's almost universal: the "please take some leftovers ... I insist!" guilt trip given after a Thanksgiving meal.

For years, you have been saying "yes," "sure," "uh, okay ...," despite your best attempt to walk away empty-handed. But now you just can't take it anymore. You don't want anything to do with Aunt Susie's jello mold after tonight and you certainly don't want to have to think about yams with marshmallows again until next year. (Actually, you do want to think about yams with marshmallows again, but if you have any plans of jamming your a** into that hot New Year's cocktail dress, then you probably shouldn't ). The problem is, no one's going to buy your "the diet starts tomorrow" line or the "oh my gosh, thaaaaaaaanks, but I already ate sooo much Brussels sprout pie, I couldn't possibly take any home" line. Nope. You've gotta come up with something new. Here are some excuses that I have come up with for turning down leftovers:

*Disclaimer: For those of you coming to my house, do not even think about uttering these!

1) I can't have sex knowing there's leftovers in the fridge. It distracts me.

2) Thanks, but Thanksgiving is actually the only day I really allow myself to indulge on Tofurkey.

3) I'm mentally allergic to tupperware.

4) I already have leftovers from last year growing mold so rapidly I could create my own vat of penicillin.

5) What the hell is Turduken?
