We went bowling yesterday. I bowled two strikes. When I went up for my next frame, my teammate said “Get the shot–we need this turkey!” And I thought “I did not know there was a turkey for a prize.” And I messed up and got a spare. When I went home I told Maddy I had bowled two strikes, and she said “Did you get a turkey?”
I wheeled around and said WTF? Turns out, as most everyone in the world including my 11 year old daughter seems to know but me, that a turkey is 3 strikes. Which is disappointing, because I was looking forward to that turkey.
