Gosh darn it Stone Swivel, you beat me to it!!! And what is wrong with a 25 lb. turkey? If you get a small one all you are doing is cooking bones. We want leftovers!
I think you should both laugh on the way over, then once you find out he’s ok go ahead and laugh with him. But he’ll have the last laugh since this will provide him an excuse to do nothing but get waited on til he gets the cast off.
My five year old stood and watched while my husband’s finger was stitched up after a bandsaw accident. She was also present when her little sister was born a month later at a different hospital, and for the next week when we visited the ICU. I would say that hospitals allow children now.
janinabarnes: I even assisted (I sat on her arm) while my daughter had her fingertip reattached. That’s how I learned suturing. I was also banned from the birth of my children. A snarkey Baptist hospital even sneered, “And you are supposed to be a minister!” I am not too sure what they meant by that considering I know a couple of Naval chaplains who have seen far worse.
When our two-year-old had to go to emergency for a split lip they ushered his father and myself out of the room while they stitched. We were let back in immediately afterward and I found him on a “papoose-board” they use for young children to keep them from moving while being sutured. They said they don’t allow parents because they get too upset watching the procedure. Just seeing him on that board, I’d have to agree!

But isn’t laughter the best medicine?

But why are they putting a cast on the turkey?

Just wait till it sinks in that it was a “25 POUND” turkey.

Still wondering if this was based on something that actually happened.

if the bones in the foot are broken, surgery could be needed to put them in place. A cast isn’t going to do that.
