‘We Have No Visible Finish Line’—The Case for Why Moms Are so Burnt Out

This is why moms are always so quick to snap. This is why we are so sensitive. Because we are desensitized. We are numb. We are so beyond burnt out.

Mom Pranks Daughter With “Pregnant Turkey,” And Her Reaction Is Totally Hysterical

Would it really be Thanksgiving without some good ol’ family shenanigans? Nerissa Hawkinson didn’t think so. This one involves a pregnant turkey. Wait, what?

Mom Went Viral on Thanksgiving With Her ‘Pregnant Turkey’ Prank

This hilarious mom decided to prank her daughter like a BOSS with an epic “pregnant turkey” joke that has now racked up over 15 million views on YouTube. To give you a little background on the hilarity that is to ensue, Nerissa put a Cornish hen inside the turkey — a yummy addition if you know what’s coming at ya, but a rather horrifying one if you think it’s, well… the turkey’s cooked baby.

Nerissa planned to convince both of her daughters, Nicole and Raquel, that she bought and baked a pregnant turkey. But unfortunately for Raquel, Nicole found the hen in the fridge prior to the prank—so this sis was left to bear the weight of this hysterically mortifying experience alone.

As she dives in the stuffing to discover the “baby,” Raquel’s repulsed face says it all.

“Why is there a turkey inside of a turkey? Oh my god, what is this? Mom this isn’t funny, I’m crying!! Mom, there’s a baby turkey in the turkey. It’s a girl,” she shrieks in terror.

Apparently, she forgot the basics of middle school biology where turkeys come from eggs, but that just makes this mom prank SO much better. Mom eventually let Raquel know it was a joke, and the teen shook off the tears and took it like a champ—but YouTube will never forget. You just have to see for yourself…

Watch the hilarious video on YouTube. You’ll be glad you did.

Who knows? Maybe the daughters have found a way to return the favor and prank their mom during recent holidays. Some would say she had it coming.

Fans love the video and have viewed it and shared it millions of times.

“I laugh every time I watch this video,” said Snow Owl. “You can tell a lot about Raquel’s reaction that she is a caring and compassionate soul. Bless her heart. She is so adorable!”

Another viewer added, “For everyone saying shes stupid cause turkeys lay eggs, i actually think its worse to think the turkey was pregnant with a headless, wingless, legless and plucked turkey.”

“After how many years, still cant get enough of Raquel’s reaction.. this video from start to finish, is a legit classic,” a viewer said. “I swear it gets stuck in my head every year since lols.”
