Time for another back home at the farm story. It was Thanksgiving so we were at the farm. My mother and all of her sister's took turns, cooking the turkey, the rest of the aunts, made the sides. This time it was Aunt Pauletta's turn. I was so excited, they had geese and we didn't. Pulling up to the farmhouse...I saw only one goose, I asked my sister where the other one was. She said it was probably out in the pasture. (I'm sure you know where this is going). I didn't think anymore about it. We sat down for dinner, my Aunt brought out the "turkey". I dug into my turkey, as it's still my favorite meat. I said to sis, what did Aunt Pauletta do to the turkey, I don't like the taste of it. My sister leaned over, and whispered into my ear...you goose is cooked. I couldn't eat another bite. And I held a grudge against that Aunt and Uncle for a long time. :D

Wow!!! What an insanely awesome day!!!!! :joyfull:
Just got back from dinner with the family at our favorite Mexican restaurant, to top it all off...! :)
The office event was a total hoot! Even though we only got to finish 14 holes of mini-golf before we got soakin' wet and rained out, it was sooo worth it...! :)
Remember, the theme was Caddyshack...

It took 2 shots to get everyone in...

That is sad. My dad showed up to dinner one day to find his pet rabbit dinner. He didn't name the animals anymore.

I had something similar happen when I was about 10 or so. I used to spend 3 or more weeks in the summer staying at my Grandparents house. Both were retired but they did have chickens. My job every morning was to go out and collect the eggs. They, of course, became MY chickens.

Flash ahead to fall. We were going to their place for our regular Sunday afternoon family gathering and when we pulled into the yard this is what I saw. My Grandfather would grab a chicken by the head, take his jackknife and cut the head off, leaving the chicken to run around the yard like... well, like a chicken with its head cut off. It didn't take long before the nerves quit functioning, but, it was surprising how far they could run like that. Then my Grandmother would take them and drop them into boiling water for just a little while to make it easy to remove the feathers. That afternoon my entire chicken family was done in and readied for the freezer. Except, of course for the couple that they held out for Sunday Dinner. What was amazing is that they actually expected me to eat any of it. Fortunately, I got over the trauma and now can quite happily devour chicken with no bad feelings at all. But, then again... I am dead on the inside!:devilish::grumpy:
