Five minutes later he came out and said “Come on Florene, we’re going home.” He never ate another bite of any food I cooked. See here for a similar story from 16(!) years ago. > [@A Thanksgiving practical joke -- or, "Turducken Cover"](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/a-thanksgiving-practical-joke-or-turducken-cover/427391/14): > > OTOH - real life has stories with credulous participants as well. This happened just 3 days ago, and I’ll tell it with no exaggeration. My 17 yo niece was having Thanksgiving with us. She’s an honor student at a “good” suburban high school; the sort of school the real estate agents make a fuss over how wonderful it is. She likes to cook & generally do the traditional girly-girl stuff. Wants to be a kindergarten teacher. I (male) am the chief cook here, so she’s helping me prep dinner by chop… The girl in question later lived with my late first wife and I for a few months and ate a bunch of my cooking during that time. Mostly without complaint. And had visited us on at least a few T-days or Christmases between then and now. But none of my gravies on those occasions included giblets. Sigh. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/old-getting-caught-off-guard-n-the-mmp/993062)._
