In honor of the upcoming holiday:

I present you this meme from WritersDigest.com!

You’re out with some old friends and they’re all rehashing amusing holiday stories. You tell them that you have one to top them all. In telling your story, there are two rules: Your story must begin with, “I remember that Thanksgiving like it was yesterday” and must end with, “And that’s how (fill in the blank) got stuck inside the turkey.”

I remember Thanksgiving like it was yesterday. The entire family was gathered at the house for the usual festivities and Jeff and I were cooking the turkey (like we do every year), except this year, one of our friends brought their little dog, Robespierre with them. We had just finished roasting the turkey and it was sitting out on the counter resting. Jeff, me, Mom, Grandma and our friends were sitting around chatting, when we heard a loud crash.

Running to the kitchen, we saw that the turkey was moving around the counter wildly and a little fuzzy tail was wagging merrily. Apparently, Robespierre jumped on a chair and then leaped onto the counter near the kitchen sink. From there, the mutt got onto the kitchen island and well, began feasting on the turkey. We had no choice after that. We called Glass Nickel and ordered pizzas and chicken wings. And that's how Robespierre got stuck inside the turkey.
