Millennials Are Trolling Their Poor Mothers by Asking How to Microwave Whole Turkeys

“Hey, Mom, how do I microwave a turkey?”

Scores of young adults have been trolling their poor mothers by asking that question via text message as Thanksgiving approaches. The resulting conversations are being shared on social media, as Mashable notes, which is generating laughs at the expense of moms who just want to protect their precious babies from the casserole of foodborne illnesses that would come from attempting to cook a 25-pound bird in a microwave.

Please stop trying to stress your mothers out this holiday season. And give them a call sometime. They worry about you.
