It's a conspiracy I tell you!!!
Well today was D-Day and I finally put it all together, only it was a little too late. You see the squirrels were doing surveillance on us humans. Waiting, watching and letting the big guys know when it was time to strike. The possums were decoys, trying to see if we were taking the bait while the raccoons quietly watched. The deer were the kamikaze pilots attacking us with the first strike to see how we reacted. But the real mastermind to this plot were the wild turkeys. Hard to believe isn't it. But they were and are the ones we have to be watching for. Yes fellow humans, they are the ones out to get us.
And here is the proof. Today, as my family was coming home, a flock of wild turkeys attacked them. My son was driving and not as seasoned as I am so he swerved. (me I am thinking dinner opportunity) When he tried to return the car to the road, the car spun and then flipped, rolling over and over until it ended up facing the other way on the road. After getting out and soaking the road with blood, my family realized that not only was the car totaled, we wouldn't be having turkey for dinner. The darn birds escaped unharmed.
So the firemen arrived and washed all the blood off the road and the policeman arrived and filled out a report and the EMS arrived but my family refused to go with them, but I came home and took everyone to the DR to get checked out. Everyone is ok because they had their seat belts on but my wife and oldest son are bruised and scraped and cut up pretty bad. Oh when I got home I almost cut off one of my fingers. Do you know how hard it is to type without one finger?
So the moral to this story is that even a turkey can be in charge, LOL
Ok seriously now, Thank you God for protecting my family. It was very serious and we are all alive. Things could have been worse.
Praise God. And have a great day!!!!

Glad all ended up okay!
Greg - so glad you are all okay. I love your sense of humor, even in the face of adversity. Let's see if you're still smiling when you get your next car insurance bill. LOL! Just kidding.
There is a partially paved road across from my neighborhood that I often use to go back and forth to school, the Farmers Market, Work etc. (unless it's rained because usually the dirt part is packed as firm as can be with no dust even). Anyway - I digress!
I see a flock of wild turkeys a LOT on that road but you can bet i'll crawl along proceeding with caution now that I know how sneaky those buggers are.
Greg, let's be careful out there, ok?
What a blessing there were no serious injuries.
Don't feel bad when you get the car insurance bill, They like you..They REALLY Like You!!
But a turkey dinner would have been a bonus. ; )
Your first instinct is to swerve - I did the same thing a few months ago and swerved to miss the neighbor's cat and hit a brick "wall"....next time - I will hose off my tire.
How terrible and scary, but so glad your family is okay. Whew. Aren't you glad God was in control of that car and not anyone else?? :-)
Nice touch, the conspiracy theory. Just like you to draw those masterful conclusions. lol
I want to do something to help...we're celebrating Easter this weekend in Canada, and I'm going to go out and buy a turkey just to show all the other turkeys what happens when they prey on my friend and his family! That'll show 'em! =)
Seriously though, I'm glad to hear no one was badly hurt, and I'm sorry about the car!
I was reading along and expecting a funny end to the story and then I saw the pictures. I'm sooooooooooo glad that you all are ok...whew. God is Good!
Time for a new car, I think! DUH right!
I'm so sorry you missed your dinner opportunity too. :)
Still you made me lol with that turkey in charge line.
Seriously though, I'm so glad everyone is okay. I remember how scary and painful that can be. Seat belts definitely help protect you from worse injuries but they do leave some pretty wicked bruises of their own. I am thanking God for protecting your family as He did ours.
