Target Turkey

I bought my Thanksgiving Turkey at Target.

Now how many of you can say THAT??!!!!

Thanksgiving used to be MY HOLIDAY.

It has moved around a bit in the last

couple of years.

Anyway...

I have never purchased a turkey.

My mother always ordered a fresh turkey for us.

My father would pick it up and bring it to my house.

My father was the turkey fairy.

"Kerry, where do turkeys come from?"

"Daddy."

Last Saturday, I was at Target when my

cell phone rang.

"We're all coming to you for Thanksgiving."

Okaaaay.

I hung up the phone, turned to my right

and there was a freezer full of Butterballs.

Oh look, Target sells turkey.

I'd better buy this big ball of poultry ice because

there probably aren't any left at the grocery store.

Dummy.

So, if I don't make any more entries

on this blog, it's because I let the frozen

turkey sit on my deck for a day to defrost

and I then ate it and died from salmonella.

(I'll be back, it was still frozen after a day

so I stuck it in the fridge)
