TURKEYS!!!!!

I have this funny story. You know how sometimes something happens that makes you and those with you laugh? And then it keeps popping up at other times to make you laugh again? And those who are around you then have no idea what the hell you are talking/laughing about? Ya, well that happened with me.

I was driving somewhere, can't remember where (probably WalMart) with my daughters. Jaime was telling me something when off the side of the road I saw a (group? gaggle?) whole bunch of turkeys!! Now this sight might not be amazing to all reading this; but for us, well ME at least, it was. We have been seeing more and more turkeys in our area over the past two or three years and I'm still excited when I see them.

So, here we are driving and Jaime was talking. I was listening, honest I was. Then I saw the turkeys. I interrupted Jaime and said, "Look! Turkeys!!". She shut up and turned away. Now, Jaime is sensitive and I hurt her feelings. I didn't mean to, I really didn't; but nonetheless, I did. So I apologized and she continued and that was it. Or so I thought.....

Now, whenever I do something similar (or don't pay 100% attention) I get one of my kids saying, "Look! Turkeys", or sometimes just "turkeys". They don't say it with the same enthusiasm I did; but it makes us all laugh.

When it's said in the company of others, the whole story has to be told again. So if you happen to be around me and my girls and hear the word "turkey", you'll know what's going on!!!!
