One year at Thanksgiving, my mom went to my sister's
house for the traditional feast.
Knowing how gullible my sister is, my mom decided to play
a trick. She told my sister that she needed something from the store.
When my sister left, my mom took the turkey out of the
oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, and inserted it into the
turkey, and re-stuffed the turkey. She then placed the bird(s) back in the
oven.
When it was time for dinner, my sister pulled the turkey
out of the oven and proceeded to remove the stuffing. When her serving spoon
hit something, she reached in and pulled out the little bird. With a look of
total shock on her face, my mother exclaimed, "Patricia, you've cooked a
pregnant bird!" At the reality of this horrifying news, my sister started
to cry.
It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys
lay eggs!
