Spare the Turkey

Darryl was excited about having Thanksgiving at his friend Jessica's house.Then his mom said the word vegetarian while they were stopped at a red light.

"They're what?" Darryl asked.

"Vegetarian, dear. It means they don't eat meat," his mom replied.

"I know what it means," Darryl snapped."This is a potluck, though, right?So someone else will bring the turkey?"

"I doubt it," his mom said."They asked everyone to bring vegetarian dishes."

"Having no turkey on Thanksgiving is just plain crazy.How are they going to make stuffing?" Darryl moaned."I'm going to starve!"

"You might be surprised," his mom said with a wink, but Darryl didn't believe her.

"I need more than rabbit food for Thanksgiving," he muttered.

His mom laughed as they pulled into the driveway of Jessica's house.Jessica burst out of the front door, looking excited to see them.She gave Darryl and his mom big welcome hugs before taking them inside.She introduced them to her parents and the other guests.In Darryl's mind, her parents looked a little too well fed to be vegetarians.

"I want to show you the dining room," Jessica said."Mom let me decorate it this year, and I made the salad."

The dining room was fully decorated.Chains of different- colored construction paper hung from everything, including around all the chairs.Jessica had even woven multicolored placemats for each place at the table.

"How are we supposed to sit down?" Darryl asked.

"I hadn't thought of that," Jessica laughed."I guess we'll just have to break the chain."
