Hey, PSA, to all loving caring moms out there!

The next time you get a text from your kids be on high alert and don’t fall for the turkey query at hand.

There’s a cheeky little prank going around amongst our kids who are grown and on their own…they are texting mom and asking how to microwave a 25-pound turkey! I received this text from my dear daughter who now lives in New York. I didn’t fall for it because I had seen it the day before when one of her longtime classmates called her mom, videotaped the call and then posted the hilarious long-distance mother/daughter exchange on Facebook.  When my daughter’s prank hit a dead end with me, she went on to text her dad and brother. They both fell for it and worried phone calls rapidly ensued to set her straight.

Well, my rebuttal to this? Text them the number to the Turkey Talk-Line at Butterball and tell them to call these turkey pros who have been at it for over 30 years.

Why? Because next year you are coming to THEIR place for Thanksgiving and they’d better start practicing now!

Happy Thanksgiving!
