I know it sounds like a dumb question but you won't know until you ask. If you never question society (in this case my mother) then you will just accept things as they are. I never gave it second thought that turkeys had legs you see from the time that I could remember my mother always presented a turkey that didn't include legs. I never thought much about it because when we had turkey any other time of the year it would be the wings so legs never really played a major role. So can you imagine my "ahh-ha" moment when I woke up early one Thanksgiving morning to find that my father would steal the legs off of the turkey retreat to his bedroom and eat the legs. For some of you this maybe a cute little story but this was a realization to me. Turkeys actually did have legs and my father literally walked off with them every Thanksgiving.
Don't you agree some of our fondest moments and greatest lessons in life are food centered.
The answer to many of life's mystery's can be realized if you wake up early enough.
