How many is TOO many?

2 happily married adults. Their 7 children. 4 sons-in-law. 11 grandchildren. 1 Sister-in-law. 1 husband of sister-in-law. 1 girlfriend. 1 girlfriend's son. 2 huge deer on the lawn, another story another day. 28, not counting the deer, I think. 1 dishwasher. 1 stove, that's prone to spontaneous combustion on holidays, but that's another story. 1 huge pumpkin pie filling shortage. 1 meal once a year. 1 long dining room table. 1 semi-big kitchen table. 1 folding kids table. 14 chairs. 28 divided by 14 = Numerator,denominator, carry the 0. See what answer the guy next to me has. Hmmmmmmm looks like a 2.0 We probably need fewer butts or more chairs. Thanksgiving in Lancaster. How many you having?

28 is not too many, you need to invite other Family Members!

The more the merrier! My parents have five toilets and a bidet that weren't counted in that number - plenty of seating!

I read this and wondered, how many would be at the Thanksgiving Dinner Table if ALL of us were there? Sis, Bros, In-laws, Kids, Grand kids, Wives, etc...
