This book is dedicated with gratitude to
Roberta and Willard Block
for their support and love over the years.
And for all the Thanksgiving dinners, too.

“What a turkey,” he said, then went back inside.
“You’re the turkey!” I yelled, just as my little
sister Mabel stepped out onto the back porch. My
dad calls her “Squirt,” but I call her “the Squid.” It’s
funnier.
“I’m not a turkey,” she said. “And your shirt is
on the roof.”
I looked up, and there it was, hanging off the
edge. I kicked the ball again.
BAM!
“I’m telling!” the Squid yelled.
Just then, Mom pulled in the driveway.
I started dribbling the soccer ball between my
feet, like I hadn’t done anything wrong.
“Charlie’s kicking the ball against the door!” the
Squid shouted as Mom turned off the motor. “And
he’s not wearing his shirt!”
What a traitor!
I grabbed the rake leaning by the garage door
and snagged my shirt off the roof.
I put it on just as Mom got out of the car. “Your
3
dad and I told you not to kick the ball at the garage
door,” she said, frowning. “Please come help me
with the groceries.”
I gave the Squid a dirty look and kicked the ball
against the garage one more time, but not as hard.
BAM!
“Charlie!” Mom shouted.
“He’s kicking the b-a-l-l,” my sister said.
The Squid had just learned to read, and she’d
started spelling everything out like she was a human
dictionary.
I lifted two of
the heavy grocery
bags out of the trunk
and followed Mom up
the back steps into the
kitchen. She’d bought
tons of food for
T ha n ksg iv i n g
dinner.
4
There are lots of good things about Thanksgiv-
ing. Like no school. And my grandparents coming.
And the stuffing my mom makes. And the rolls my
grandmother always brings, which are the absolute
best food on the planet. But this year was going to
be even better because on Thanksgiving evening a
Buck Meson special was showing on TV.
Buck Meson, Detective from Andromeda, is
my absolute favorite superhero. He has his own TV
show and he’s got this electron stare that paralyzes
bad guys in their place so they can’t move.
I know he’s not real, but he should be. That
would mean electron stares are real, and I would
have many uses for them. Like paralyzing brothers
and sisters.
When Mom and I had finished unloading the
groceries from the car, our dog Ginger sniffed at the
bags we’d left on the floor, looking for something
to eat. Dad came up from the basement. “Wow,” he
said, looking at all the overflowing bags. “Is there
anything left at the supermarket?”
5
“I asked Mrs. Walcott if she wanted to come for
Thanksgiving,” Mom said, ignoring my dad’s joke.
“She’s going to be alone, so I thought it would be
nice.”
My mom’s a visiting nurse. She goes to people’s
homes if they can’t get to the doctor’s office. Mrs.
Walcott has been one of her patients a long time,
and I’ve even visited her house with my mom.
“Uh-oh,” Dad said.
“What?” Mom asked.
“Well, I thought we were going to invite the
Gritzbachs this year.”
Oh no, I thought. Not the Gritzbachs! Mr. and Mrs.
Gritzbach are our neighbors. Mr. Gritzbach’s kind
of grumpy and can’t stand our dog Ginger.
“I know,” Mom said, “but I decided to ask Mrs.
Walcott instead. She’ll be completely alone if we
don’t have her over here.”
“Hmmm.” Dad looked worried. “I just invited
the Gritzbachs.”
“Oh jeez, Jim! Why didn’t you tell me?”
6
“I’m sorry. I ran into them while I was taking
a walk this morning,” Dad said. “Their son is
spending the holiday with his wife’s family, so
they were going to be by themselves.”
“What are we going to do?” Mom asked.
“Well, I don’t think we can disinvite them,”
he said.
“Of course not. But where are we going to
put everybody?” Mom grabbed the notepad and
pencil we keep by the phone and sat down at the
kitchen table.
She started making a list of everyone who was
coming. There was our family, which included
my mom and dad, me, Matt, and the Squid. Then
there were my mom’s parents, Pops and Gams.
“Don’t forget the Gritzbachs,” Dad said.
“And Mrs. Walcott,” I added.
“And Sarah and Brandon and Chip,” Mom
said. “And Tilly.”
Brandon and Sarah are my uncle and aunt.
My cousin Chip is a year older than the Squid
7
and two years younger than me, and he can be
extremely annoying. Especially to me. Tilly’s his
new baby sister. Her real name is Matilda.
“Holy moly,” Mom said. “That makes fourteen
people.”
“Wow,” Dad said. “I hope you bought a really
big turkey.”
“Turkey begins with a t,” the Squid explained to
everyone.
Dad’s phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket
and looked at the screen. “It’s Ron,” he said, walking
out of the kitchen. “I’d better answer.”
Ron’s my dad’s brother. Uncle Ron is the greatest.
“I wonder if we’ll have enough food?” Mom said.
“Maybe I should bake an extra pie.” She scribbled
some notes on the piece of paper while the Squid
looked over her shoulder, trying to read the words.
“Mom, you don’t write very neatly,” the Squid
observed.
Dad came back in the kitchen. “Guess what.”
“What?” Mom asked.
8
“Ron broke up with his girlfriend, and he doesn’t
have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving.” Dad paused.
“And?” Mom asked.
“I invited him here,” Dad said with a guilty look
on his face. “I had to.”
“You think he wants to stay for the entire
weekend?” she asked.
“Probably.”
I love Uncle Ron, but I know he kind of drives
Mom crazy. Once when he was here for a few days,
I heard her tell my dad it was like having another kid
in the house.
I didn’t see anything wrong with having another
kid in the house. If it was Uncle Ron.
Matt walked in. “What’s going on?”
“We’re having fifteen people for Thanksgiving,”
I said.
“No way!” Matt chortled. “That’s a lot.”
The Squid was still peering over Mom’s shoulder,
looking at the pad of paper. “I see the number 15,”
she said. “But what’s that?” She pointed at something
9
on the paper. “Those squiggly letters right there.
What do they say?”
Mom didn’t answer. Matt looked over Mom’s
other shoulder and started to laugh.
“What’s it say? What’s it say?” the Squid squeaked,
which she does when she gets excited.
Matt laughed. “It says, ‘too many!’”
“You got that right,” Dad agreed.
Personally, I could think of one easy way to
shorten the guest list: Have my cousin Chip stay
home.

definition. And I want you to be prepared to
defend it in class tomorrow.”
Mrs. Burke was sneaky. She’d fooled us again.
She had gotten all of us interested in something,
and now we had to write about it. What a horrible
way to ruin a perfectly good learning experience.

Sometimes Grown-ups Are
Completely Clueless
That night at dinner, each of us shared something
that had happened that day. The Squid told how
this girl in her class lost her tooth at home but it
fell down the sink and her parents had to call the
emergency plumber to save the tooth so she could
put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.
“That’s a very expensive tooth,” Dad observed.
“But Tanya only gets a dollar,” the Squid said.
“A lot less than the emergency plumber,” Dad
said. “Well, Matt. Any big news to report?”
Matt told about this kid named Thad in his
English class who did a presentation about an
author. Thad had dressed up like the author and
pretended to be him. Then, in the middle of the
presentation, he’d fallen over, twitched a few times,
and pretended to die right on the classroom floor.
“Mrs. Cummings ran over and asked him if he was
okay,” Matt said. “Thad sat up and told her that the
author had died very young. It was brilliant!”
“I guess it’s dangerous being an author,” Dad
said. “What about you, Charlie?”
“Today in class we had to look up definitions for
a bunch of words. For homework, I have to write a
definition of the word ‘family.’”
“I assume you will describe your excellent older
brother,” Matt said.
“Ha ha ha,” I said.
“I’m in your family,” the Squid announced.
“Family: f-a-m…” She looked over at Mom.
“The next letter is i,” Mom prompted.
“That’s what I was going to say,” the Squid
declared. “Family: f-a-m-l-i-y.”
17
“Close enough,” Dad said.
“That reminds me,” Mom said. “With so many
people coming for Thanksgiving, our whole family
is going to have to work together.”
“Your mom’s right,” Dad added. “It’s our job
to be good hosts, so I expect everyone here to be
helpful…and flexible.”
“Of course,” Matt said. “Flexible is my middle
name.”
“Your middle name is Arthur,” the Squid said.
“Don’t remind me,” Matt said.
“And that brings me to the next point,” Mom
went on. “Aunt Sarah and Uncle Brandon and Tilly
are going to stay at the Village Inn with Pops and
Gams. But they’d like Chip to stay here.”
She paused for a second and gave me a little
smile.
I didn’t like that little smile. It meant something.
“Chip’s a very nice boy,” Mom said. “And I think
he’s grown up a lot. Sarah says his teacher calls him
‘the perfect little gentleman.’”
18
Perfect little turkey, I said to myself. Even though
the adults don’t seem to realize it, Chip is a turkey.
His real name is Brandon, but that’s also his dad’s
name, so everyone calls him “Chip.” He’s a giant
pest. Last summer we spent three days with their
family at a lake house, and every time I turned
around he was right there, buzzing around like
a little gnat, telling me what to do, and saying he
could do it better. Even though he couldn’t.
I had tried to be nice to him, but it’s hard to be
nice to someone who drives you bonkers. My mom
told me he followed me around because he wanted
to be just like me, and said I should be patient.
Sometimes grown-ups are completely clueless.
Even mothers.
“So, he’s going to have to sleep in someone’s
room,” Mom said.
“He could sleep on the fold-out couch,” I
suggested. The family room was a long way from
my room.
19
“I think Uncle Ron will be sleeping on the
couch,” Dad said.
Mom opened her mouth, but didn’t say anything.
“Maybe he can stay with Mabel,” I said, “since
he’s closest to her age.”
“He can’t,” the Squid said. “My room’s too
small.”
“What about Matt, then?” I asked. “He has the
biggest room.”
“I need all that room for my brain,” Matt said.
“I think he should stay with you, Charlie. He always
follows you around anyway.”
“There’s no bed for him,” I said.
“We’ll bring in the inflatable mattress,” Mom
said. “Just like when Tommy sleeps over.”
“But he’s my friend!” I said. “Chip is different.”
“Chip’ll take up less space than Tommy,” Matt
said. “You’ll barely notice he’s there.” He gave me
his classic evil older brother grin. He knew Chip
drove me crazy.
“He’ll mess everything up!” I protested.
