Turkey Eggs?

So last weekend, my three best friends spent the night at house. We had a really great time. Ever since summer of 2012, we started a youtube channel. On our channel, we post really stupid videos of ourselves doing stupid things. But not all of them are stupid. We also make music videos to popular songs. If you want to get a huge laugh at our stupidity, check us out: ChocolateOwl1513. But anyways, we made another music video to the song "22" by Taylor Swift. It was really fun to film.

After that, my one friend had the idea to make some cookies. So we looked up this really easy recipe for Nutella cookies and made them. Well the funny thing is, the dough looks a lot like poop. Like an unbelievable resemblance. So we decided to play a little trick on my mom (yes, I know. Four fourteen year olds playing that old trick). We put the dough on the toilet seat and in the toilet and then just walked away. A little later, we heard my mom yell, "ASHLEY! WHAT IS THIS?!" She had spotted it. We all ran to the bathroom. Stifling giggles, my sister, Breanna went over and got some on her finger and ate it. My mom just started laughing. (So the real question here is, if one of us ever really does try to eat real poop, will my mother try to stop us? Or will she just laugh? Thanks, Mom). But my mom was really confused. So we eventually told her it was Nutella. She thought our dog, Jack, had done it. For all of you out there horrified about my sister eating off of the toilet, it's ok. It's just Breanna.

On to the real meaning of the title of this blog. My family has three chickens and a turkey. When we first got our turkey, my dad was sure that it was a male. It's huge and it struts. But last weekend, my dad came down from feeding our poultry and showed us an egg. It was a giant, speckled egg. He then announced to us that the turkey had layed it. This was a huge surprise to us. Our turkey is laying eggs. That's just weird to even say. So either my dad, the animal expert, is wrong, or we have a bisexual turkey.

After hearing this, my one friend brought up the fact that we had used a giant, speckled egg in the Nutella cookie batter. So yes, we were eating turkey eggs. Not really sure how I feel about that one yet.

But apparently infertile turkey eggs are kinda rare. Turkeys are only suppose to lay, if they even lay anything, maybe twice a week. Well our turkey lays at least once a day! My mom and I also found out that these eggs sell for up to $3 an egg! Sweet! So forget college. I can live in my tiny town for the rest of my life selling eggs and raising turkeys. Future = done.
