“Hi, I couldn’t help but notice you’re a turkey.”

“No, I’m not a turkey”

“You look amazingly like a turkey.”

“Well I’m not.”

“Come on, you’re a turkey. Look at that tail, those beautiful feathers. You’ve even got a dewlap.”

“Nope, Sorry.”

“If you’re not a turkey then what are you?”

“A Bunting”

“What, A Bunting! You’re  not a Bunting.”

“Am so.”

“You are not a Bunting. Buntings aren’t even around here at this time of year.”

“What month is it then.”

“Let’s see, September, October, Turkeyvember. I’m pretty sure it’s November.”

“Wait, did you just say Turkeyvember?”

“Nope, I said November.”

You said Turkeyvember, I heard you!”

“No I didn’t. There isn’t even a month named Turkeyvember.”

“Are you sure, I could have sworn I heard Turkeyvember.”

“No, no, no. I don’t even know where that came from. But listen, if you’re not doing anything later why don’t you come down to the house for dinner. We’ve got fresh corn.”

“Really, I love fresh corn.”

“Yeah, well, we’d love to have you. Come on I’ll walk you down. I’ve never seen a Bunting as large as you. Do you work out? The family’s going to love you. No, it’s not that far. So, how much do you weigh then. Really! That’s big for a bunting….. No, the family won’t mind if you’re there for dinner…”
