Need more lines? I am a turkey...kill me (then burst into song "eat me---its thanksgiving day...")
Laina had her Thanksgiving Day program at school yesterday. Last week she came home and said she had to face the most embarrassing day ever because a girl at school wouldn't be one of the turkeys and so SHE had to be a turkey. The turkeys run across the stage and say "gobble gobble gobble" every time the narrator said the word turkey. It was cute and it made me laugh and I had awesome pictures (I brought the big daddy lens so I could get some awesome shots - sure parents probably thought I was a freak...the kids sure did - one kid standing by Laina said "woah! woah! that's a big lens :) made me feel happy...but now I'm sad since I just wiped my card out and thought I had saved them - so no images of the little turkey girl.
Back to the story...so when Laina informed the family of her role as turkey, Matt and I about freaked out (in a good way)...both of us were campaigning for her to break from the pack of turkeys, grab the mic, and say "I am a turkey....kill me." (Mom, don't freak...its from a movie...and its a favorite line in our house...so no CPS.) Then we promised her extra bonus points if she'd start singing the song. She refused. Flat. out. refused. Ugh...so not exciting. She informed us that the stunt would cost her big time busting at school...Mr. Kotter's office. We shot back that it would all be worth it (plus the unlimited playdates and cash money we were willing to throw in) - so totally worth it...what's one day in suspension for being able to pull of such a classic Thanksgiving moment???? Oh well...we tried.
Speaking of turkeys...is there a hotline/helpline or something for stressed cooks the day before Thanksgiving?
My sister needs it (we're at 6 calls and its only 1:30pm.)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
Can you explain the difference between "cash money" and other money? I mean for a child? Do you bribe with bond money or college money or candy money?
Thanks for the clarification.
