I told him it was a chicken stuffed inside a duck stuffed inside a turkey.
"Hmmm," he mused. "There would still be room for a mouse inside the chicken."

This is my weekend entry for the TrifectaWritingChallenge. Check it out - it's a lot of fun. This weekend we had to do a 33-word piece using the Rule of Three. (Turducken photo source: Wiki).

BTW, sorry I have been MIA for a bit. I inherited a new baby! He is adorable and a lot of work!
Welcome back - I missed you. Dying to know how you inherited a baby???
ReplyDeleteSim!! I missed you too!
DeleteWait. Is Sim being literal? And the mouse? Shudder. Turducken is a dish I haven't tried that I YEARN to taste.
ReplyDeleteMy son actually said this when I told him about turducken! LOL!
DeleteI love the turducken!
ReplyDeletethanks :)
DeleteWhelp. That's gross! Did that conversation actually happen? Hah!
ReplyDeleteYep - he said it alright - LOL!
DeleteMy husband and I were talking with myparents about Thanksgiving one year and I brought up the Turducken, of which they had never heard. One thing lewd to another, and we all broke out into fits of hysterical, crying laughter! I still cannot help but grin whenever I hear the word.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the big smile!
Thanks FKC. You are right - the whole thing is funny in the first place without even adding the mouse :)
DeleteI am so happy to hear from you..I was worried...Michelle
ReplyDeleteAww...sorry...got a ton of baby care dropped on me out of nowhere!
DeleteAmbitious, now what goes inside the mouse?
ReplyDeleteKids, by the way, say awesome stuff.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly...
Deletegotta love the things kids say!
ReplyDeleteI have been remiss in not writing a lot of this stuff down!
DeleteCongrats on your new addition, wondering about the "inherited" part, but however they come, aren't they great?
ReplyDeleteThat your son actually said this makes it all the cuter. Of course, the idea of Turducken reminds me of Tofurkey, which is vegan turkey for Thanksgiving... my daughter says, "Who would be thankful for that? YUCK." Great entry! Amy

LOL! We should introduce your daughter to my son! Thanks on the babe too :)
DeleteI know what a turduken is but the comments make me think of the nursery rhyme, There was an Old Lady who swallowed a fly...
ReplyDeleteExactly! I was thinking about that too!!
DeleteI agree with Debbie - I was thinking the Old Lady who swallowed a fly too! This dish redefines "stuffing" :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! She swallowed the turkey to catch the duck ;)
DeleteGross and LOL! Very creative.
ReplyDeleteI know...ever since he said that, I know that I can never try turducken - haha!
DeleteEwww! I loved it. I would never have thought of turducken.
ReplyDeleteYea...not sure how my mind took Rule of Three and came up with turducken...kind of disturbing actually!
DeleteHa! I bet it tastes better than it sounds! Congratulations on the birth of your baby too! :D
ReplyDeleteLOL! And thanks :)
DeleteIt's all very medieval, isn't it? Perhaps a lark could go in there somewhere too.
ReplyDeleteExactly...four and twenty blackbirds baked in a pie and so on and so forth ;)
DeleteWe do a winter meal every year with a Turducken we receive as a gift. Very medieval and very yummy. Skipping the mouse, of course!
ReplyDeleteHi Gina! What a great gift and great tradition - skipping the mouse, of course!
Deletethen i guess it would be mosturducken! ;-) good take on the prompt.
ReplyDeleteMind boggling :)
ReplyDeletePoor animal... If you can live and let live, just do it. Go vegetarian.
