The full moon rises over Fayetteville, N.C. on Friday, Dec. 12, 2008. Friday night’s full moon was the closest full moon of 2008, appearing larger and brighter than any full moon this year. |
Pregnant Turkey
One year at Christmas 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! |
Tracey and I had planned to take a scooter ride yesterday since the weather was warming up, but we decided not to because it was still so windy and wet. Now the temperatures are in the single digits so we won’t be riding any time soon!
Ben & Aaron went to an electronic game contest yesterday and won again. Aaron has been consistently winning something at these contests and Ben got in on the action too this time. I guess those hours of playing computer games weren’t completely wasted? ;-)
We will find out in the next few hours if the ice, snow, wind and frigid temps will be bad enough to get a day off from school. I know the boys went to bed with their fingers crossed hoping for a horrible blizzard! |
