Happy Thanksgiving, Safari family!
In honor of the holiday, I thought we’d have a little fun and imagine what our Thanksgiving dinners might look like if we all took on the personalities of African Safari animals. Trust me, I’ve been at enough family and friends gatherings to recognize a few of these characters! 😉
So... which one are you?
The Hyena: The One Doing All the Talking (And Giggling)
This relative never stays quiet for long!
Whether they’re sharing stories or cracking dad jokes, they’re always the life of the get-together, keeping conversations going whether you asked for updates or not! 😂
The Warthog: The Messy-Eating Toddler
Ahhh, the littlest one at the table.
Food all over the place, hands in everything... and leaving a trail of mashed potatoes and gravy from their highchair to the floor.
🙃 But hey, they’re cute, so we let it slide!
The Lion: The Head of the Table
The lion – king (or queen) of the family gathering.
👑 They’re the one who carves the turkey, makes the “rules,” and keeps everyone in line. Don’t try to challenge them – it’s their den, and we’re just here to dig in! 😉
The Elephant: The Matriarch Who’s Convinced
No-one’s Had Enough to Eat
The elephant is the family matriarch, keeping an eye on all the plates and generously doling out second and third helpings.
Her job is to ensure everyone leaves the table in a food coma. 🦃🍗🍂
The Meerkat: The Gossip Monger
You know the one... they didn’t come for the food; they came for the tea. The meerkat’s head is always popping up whenever there’s a hint of juicy family drama – no side conversation escapes their keen ears!
The Zebra: The Fashionable Guest
Always dressed to impress, the Zebra is that cousin who shows up in the trendiest Thanksgiving outfit. Stripes may be their signature look, but at the dinner table, they’re rocking the fanciest ensemble and making everyone else look like they rolled straight off the couch (which is likely true.) 😂
The Baboon: The Mischief-Maker
We’ve all got one… the family member who just cannot sit still. The Baboon is the mischievous uncle or cheeky sibling stealing extra rolls from the breadbasket and plotting who they’re going to prank next. 🙉 If there’s chaos at the table, you know the Baboon’s behind it!
The Honey Badger: Only Here for Dessert
The Honey Badger doesn’t care about the turkey or the stuffing. They’ve got one thing on their mind: pumpkin pie… and they’re not keen to share!
The Hippo:
The One Who Drank Too Much Red Wine
They started out with good intentions, but soon the hippo’s making waves! With a few too many glasses of red in their system, they’re getting louder by the minute and may have already knocked over a glass or two. 🍷😅
I hope you had a good laugh at these descriptions and recognize one, or more, in you or someone you are going to share a meal with.
Here’s to good food and wild family and friend memories.
Happy Thanksgiving!
