We Will Give You $5 If You Do This

But you have to do the whole trick, and prove you did!  :^) I know $5 isn’t much but hey, the economy and all. [Ok so maybe this wouldn’t be all that nice to do to someone.. so .. uh.. well, we’ll trust your judgement]

Since we have some extra time on our hands for the rest of the week– no school till Monday, trippin-out on the fumes of varnishing floors, seven of us piled high on crammed furniture and stuff upstairs for a couple weeks — here’s a little story we thought we’d copy for our friends, from girltalk.blogs.com    

PREGNANT TURKEY STORY by Gloria (true story)

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 realization of this horrifying news, my sister started to cry.It took the family two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs! Yep…she’s blonde!
