When Bob was little, he really looked up to his cousin, Sarah. She was a star athlete, she was in school plays, she was smart and wonderful.
He can't physically look UP to her anymore, but she's still one of his favorite people.
Bob did all the cooking at Thanksgiving. He planned a small joke into the menu. When no one was looking, he took the turkey out of the oven and replaced it with a Cornish Game hen. Then, when all the rest of the food was on the table, he made a big show of taking the "turkey" out of the oven.
"Oh my God! It shrunk!" he said.
The joke didn't get a big response from Uncle Jerry, but it worked pretty well on Cousin Sarah.

Good to see some of your family. What did you do with "W" for the big family gathering?

No wonder he loves her, she gets his jokes !
Har, har. I've heard of things drying out and shrinking during baking but that's over the top. Good family make fun times.
Ha! Ha! That was a great joke from Bob. He must have inherited his sense of humour from his crazy mama.
That was funny. I would probably fall for that while still wondering how it happened. I like your family stories.
Tee Hee Good jokes are really hard to pull off, but when they are done well....PRICELESS!
