Let me tell you how awesome my dad is. We had extended family over, which includes a 7-year-old and a 3-year-old. Both we are not familiar with our family at all. They are also girly girls.
During dinner it was the usual battle with young children to eat, so my dad offered to help.
"I don't like chicken!" The 3-year-old said.
"Oh its not chicken." My dad said. "Its big bird."
Her eyes got huge then squinted. 'Nuh-uh.' She retorted. But dad wasn't gonna give up, he set down his fork then smiled at Kanoosh (my little bro), Officer Bubba and I.
"It is!" He exclaimed. "Kanoosh and I hunted him down last week. He jumped on his back, knocked him unconscious and then I clubbed him like a baby seal."
"Oh my!" Grandma chimed in, nearly more horrified than the 3-year-old as she too now stared in awe at this great tale.
This caused me to shoot my coke out my nose and all over my clean shirt. Kanoosh has lost control and is choking on his green beans and Bubba is trying to hide his laugh while I regain composure.
"MOM!" the 3-year-old yelled. "Is this big bird?"
"Yep hunny, turkey is a big bird." her mom replied, apparently not paying attention.
"Told ya so." Dad said, taking a big bite of turkey. "Feathers are in the garage if you don't believe me."
She was very well behaved after that...and quiet.
