Among the lessons: Your dad’s forehead is a great place to crack an egg; most refrigerator shelves cannot bear the weight of a small child; long hair and electric mixers are a recipe for disaster; and finally, toasters are scary. There’s also an informative beverage montage-within-the-montage which clearly demonstrates all the various reasons why you should not let your toddler fill the water glasses at the Thanksgiving table.

Happy early Thanksgiving to you and yours!
