One year at Christmas my mum went
to my sister's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my
sister is, my mum decided to play a trick. She told my sister that
she needed something from the store.
When
my sister left, my mum took the turkey out of the oven, removed the stuffing, stuffed a Cornish hen, inserted
it into the turkey, and restuffed 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!
