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!
