You know, I really think I can put together a great Thanksgiving dinner. This'll be the second one that I've cooked, and believe me, the first one was not the disaster that my family said it was. Those kids had a pretty good time in that ambulance.

Our reading

An editorial interpretation.

Rebecca sounds cheerfully confident about cooking a second Thanksgiving dinner. The joke is her spin on the first attempt: the kids supposedly enjoyed the ambulance ride, so it can't have been that bad. She recasts an obvious disaster as a fun memory.
