Talking Turkey
Blogger: The Man Child, Fox Chapel
The other day, I was making my son a turkey sandwich. Pre-packaged turkey from Hillshire Farms. I’ve been eating this stuff so long I honestly don’t even associate it with an animal. And when he had seen a wild turkey in our neighborhood earlier in the day, he said, “Hey, that turkey is making turkey.” So I thought we were kind of on the same page: complete denial.
But then as I was making him his sandwich his gears started turning. “Turkey…sounds like…turkey. Hey! Is this the same turkey as the animal?”
“Um…Yes?”
“Where’s its face?”
