muckefuckA few moments ago, I was discussing work issues with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
utopian_camorra at the front desk when a co-worker came by and told us, "At four o'clock all the people at service desks are going to do...what should we do at four o'clock? We should do something."
"Make hand turkeys," I suggested.
"Hand-turkeys?" UC asked.
"You know," I said, splaying my fingers.
"Oh, right!" he replied, spreading his own hand flat, "when you trace around your hand." He mimed this with the pen in his other hand.
A little while later, he toddled off to tell people at the other desks. He was uncertain about some of the fogeys and we discussed the point at which hand turkeys became a part of cultural literacy. When did you draw your first one? Whenever it was, draw another at 4 p.m.!

Stopping By Live Journal at Eventide.
Did you dawdle?
Did your hand wobble?
Did fogeys fondle?
Does your turkey hobble?
Or does it toddle?
or...
Like Richard on Ally McBeal - is all the turkey wants is the judges' waddle?
Happy Turkey Day!

I am familiar with the practise of tracing around your hands with a pencil, though, and have passed that on to Amy (most often on her Magna-Doodle, but I've probably also done it with pen/crayon on paper).
