Last year at Thanksgiving, we went to my mother-in-law's house for the traditional feast. Knowing how gullible my mother-in-law is, we decided to play a trick. My sister-in-law told my mother-in-law that she needed something from the store.
When my mother-in-law left, we 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. We then placed the bird(s) back in the oven.
When it was time for dinner, my mother-in-law 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 sister-in-law exclaimed, "MOM, you've cooked a pregnant bird!"
At the reality of this horrifying news, my mother-in-law started to cry. It took my in-law's two hours to convince her that turkeys lay eggs!
On a side note: I think my husband inherited his brains from her...his sisters must be adopted...
