For my first Thanksgiving as host, I bought the biggest turkey they had in the store. I went around and found everything else I needed and checked out and left. I got home and started cooking and listening to music. Then I through the turkey in the oven. I went downstairs to get something and I heard a really loud boom. I hurried upstairs. I didn't see a mess so I opened the oven and the turkey had blew up, there wasn't even a bone left. So I finished cooking everything else. Then I got out the hamburger and started cooking it. So then everyone started showing up. They all asked why there was no turkey out anywhere then I told them the story. They all said hamburgers were okay but turkey did sound better and that’s why we all ate hamburgers.\
