because her son’s first-grade class
was having a potluck Thanksgiv

key. Knowing that a parent would
have to do all the work, the Talk-

the turkey and not a smaller dish

woman replied, “My 30-year-old
son is the teacher.”

members of her fiunily who were
shouting orders from the living

thought it was bake, but called just
to make sure.
