Guy Brings Girlfriend to His Parents on Thanksgiving, She Runs Away before Dinner Even Starts — Story of the Day
A college student brings his new girlfriend home for Thanksgiving but forgets to warn his meat-loving family that she is a vegan.
None of it would have happened if Dylan Ulrich wasn’t such a poser, or at least, that was his bother Dean’s opinion. What would go down in family legend as the Great Turkey Caper only happened because Dylan always followed his current girlfriend’s lead in everything.
When he was dating a political activist, he marched in protests. When he dated a Goth, he wore black lipstick and listened to depressing music. But the family had no idea his latest girlfriend was a vegan…

Dylan called his mom the night before Thanksgiving and announced that he was bringing a special girl home for dinner. “Mom,” he said solemnly. “I think she’s the one.”
Mrs. Ulrich didn’t take that statement very seriously, because Dylan was always finding ‘the one,’ but she planned for an extra guest for Thanksgiving dinner. She told her husband, “Gus, dear, Dylan is bringing a girl home for Thanksgiving!”
Mr. Ulrich sighed. “I hope this one won’t insist on getting in touch with the unquiet spirits of our ancestors!”
Mrs. Ulrich shook her head. “I don’t know, Gus, he didn’t say anything about this one…Maybe she’s just…normal.”

Dean, who had just walked in, started laughing. “Normal? You must be dreaming! Remember the wrestler?”
Mr. Ulrich shuddered. “I wish I didn’t! She nearly broke my arm! But she was not so bad, the girl who burned incense at the dinner table was way worse!”
Mrs. Ulrich looked worried. “I think Dylan can always manage to do worse…And that’s what scares me!”
Dean put his arm around his mother and gave her a consoling hug. “Listen, mom, you just dish up your amazing turkey and that eggnog and this girl will just melt! Dont worry about it!”
But Dean was wrong, very wrong, because when Dylan arrived the next day shortly after lunch with a thin girl with a sharp nose in tow, Mrs. Ulrich was in for a huge surprise.
