The first two of the past three years, this was because we forgot to buy a disposable roasting pan, or we forgot to start defrosting the turkey.

Meteorological Misanthropy #8: Rock Me Like a Labor Pain?
CW: Puns worse than my title ahead. Also some vague allusions to where Hypothetical Future Babies might hypothetically come from in some hypothetical future.
