Slowly dropping her head in shame, Bette said, “What?”

Tina:  “Did you ever see a turkey fly that high; because from where I was standing, it had to have fallen a good 3000 feet?”

Bette began to look around as if she were trying to figure out the most complicated of mathematical theories…until

“Oh you’ve got to be ***** kidding me.”

Bette slammed the trunk shut and flew into the car.  As she reached for the seatbelt, she looked back at Alice, who was just staring back at her.  “Feeling good, Alice; how’s our turkey doing, huh?”

Alice slipped the check into her pocket and tightly pulling the pack to her chest, said, “Uh, fine, Bette.  Just really want to get back to the house so me and Dana can start preparing it for the oven.”

Tina: “That’s not going in my oven”

As Bette threw the car into reverse, she said, “Oh Tina, don’t be silly.  I think it should go right in the second we get back to the house.”

Alice quickly interrupted.  “NO!  I meanno, see, me and Dana have to pluck it, and cut the head off and then of course gut itI mean, it’s going to be really messy”

Tina: “That’s disgusting”

Dana:  “I’m not touching that ***** bird”

Kit: “Well, we can’t eat it as is.”

Alice: “Exactly!  And, well, we appreciate your sensitivity about these things, Tina.  We really do.  We’ll just do it over by Shane and Jenny’s”

Bette slammed down the accelerator and said, “Don’t be ridiculous.  We just have side dishes to make before tomorrow.  The tofurkey doesn’t take long to make at all.  You can use our kitchen, Alice.  Right, Tina?”

Tina: “Hmm, that’s true, Bette.  We really don’t have that much to make”

Dana: “What’s the big deal where we cook it?”

Alice jabbed Dana to the ribs and said, “No, I already called Jenny, see.  Yeah, she’s uh, she’s preheating the oven as we speak.”

Bette: “Well that sure is nice of Jenny, Alice.”

Alice: “Yeah, ha, she’s a real gem that one isshe’s”

Tina looked over at Bette and winked, “And that sure is considerate of you Alice; to think of me and my sensitivity to these kinds of things.”
