One Thanksgiving when I was a youngster (maybe 10?) my family went to my grandparent's house for dinner. Big family event, everyone there including neighbors and friends of the family. My grandfather was cooking an enormous turkey in a large pan on the barbecue pit. He came inside to let everyone know that it would be about 5 more minutes. When he went back outside the turkey was gone. Someone stole the turkey, and we had everything but turkey for dinner. It was reported to the police and a couple days later someone found the pan that the turkey was in. It even made the local news (small town). It's now a big family joke about "going check on the turkey" and "making sure it's still there."

Two years ago, at the MIL's house. The drippings from the turkey caught the oven on fire. Mind you, we had about 6 or 7 firefighters (my husbands brothers, sisters, and significant others) in the house at the time. Everyone was so laid back, they calmly sent the youngest (my husband) up to "fix" it. Dinner was served a bit late and with a bit more smoke than usual but was still very tasty.

One year before we had the boyz we had no place to go so we went with my brother/SIL to her parents house. They have a very small house and this nasty little tiny dog Dinkus that hates my brother. The dog started after my brother who was also standing next to me. Next thing I remember is me and my brother standing it the middle of the kitchen table, me with my foot in the butter dish.  The dog was on a chair with his front paws on the table trying to get us. All this happened before she had put the rolls in a brown paper bag and put them in the oven to warm them up. WTF???? Oh, and she forgot about them. 
DH also got bit my Dinkus twice, drawing blood each time. We laugh or asses off about it still.

I did this at my mother's once. The pan was too small, yet I was convinced it was not. She was more than a little pissed as her oven was only 2 months old.
