Last week, my daughter proudly informed me that she had eaten something she knew I liked to eat.

I asked, “What is it that you ate?”.

“Burnt turkey,” she proclaimed.

“Burnt turkey?”.

“Yes,” she insisted.

I had to think fast and hard. Then it came to me.

“Do you mean beef jerky?”, I asked.

“Yes, that’s what I said, beef jerky.”

Whew.
