Pregnant Turkey

A friend forwarded this to me and it reminded me of my beloved innocent sister:)

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, 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!


Comments:
Ahhh yes, a timely story. This reminded me of my recent discovery/research into chicken/bird reproduction. I was puzzled by where eggs came from, if chickens just layed eggs or actually had to find a mate, "etc." Apparently they do. Your welcome for making you smarter. Or dumber. It's debateable.
 
I mean't "YOU'RE". not "YOUR". I think. I hate grammar.
 
But the real question, of course, is which came first?
