When I was in 3rd grade, we had a birdfeeder on the kitchen window. My dad joked about catching and cooking the birds, so one day my mom made Cornish hens and told my brother and I they were mourning doves. I believed her and even wrote about it in my class journal. At the parent-teacher conference, my teacher told my dad I wrote that we'd had mourning doves for dinner - my dad just said that we had - she didn't know how to respond to that!
