'le vie c'est tres droll'

Standing in the kitchen on November 28th at noon. Pimp Mom, Pimp Daddy and The Medium Pimp look at each other uncomfortably.
Medium Pimp: Uh, shouldn't we be doing something? I feel funny.
Pimp Daddy: Well, I guess we should put the turkey in soon.
Medium Pimp: You mean that big chicken?
Pimp Daddy: It is 12 pounds!!! That was 12 pounds more than they had in the shtetyl!
Pimp Mom: We could rake the leaves!
Cut to 20 bags of leaves at the bottom of the driveway
MP: Where are we going to rake the leaves from, the trees?
PD: We could put the turkey in, but we don't want to put it in yet.
PM: Okay.
MP: Okay.
Silence
PM: We should put it in soon though.
PD: Yes - yes we should.
AT THIS MOMENT THE ELECTRICITY SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF. EVERYONE BURSTS INTO LAUGHTER.
MP: What? No way!
PM: The last time the lights were out it lasted two hours!
PD: Perfect! God is giving us a message!
Silence, darkness.
MP: I can't believe this is happening!
PM: Two hours I tell you - that bird will never be done in time!
PD: Hamburgers! Hamburgers for everyone!
And the lights come on. Normal awkward human/turkey Thanksgiving interaction resumes.
