On Thanksgiving, my three-year-old cousin dropped a bit of his turkey, crying out, "Oh no! I dropped my chicken!" When I told him it was turkey, he responded with, "No, it's only turkey on the outside! On the inside it's chicken!"
This may be my older cousins fault, for mistaking the turkey for chicken herself and referring to it as such. Either way, it was the cutest thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
