Just because it's Thanksgiving doesn't mean you can't have a little fun with your relatives.

In a move that might have turned her daughter off of turkey forever, Nerissa Hawkinson asked her animal-loving daughter Raquel to remove the stuffing from their cooked bird and had the camera rolling as the young woman made an alarming discovery.

Nerissa had placed a smaller Cornish hen inside the turkey and in her shock, the daughter believes for a moment that the turkey was pregnant.

Turkeys, of course, lay eggs.

While Raquel can barely contain her alarm, Nerissa's other daughter, who was in on the prank, can't stop laughing.

Although it was posted after Thanksgiving last year, video of Nerissa's prank went viral over this year's holiday weekend, and now has more than 7 million views on YouTube.
