After asking their parents this absurd, and potentially upsetting question, many kids and young adults have posted their responses on social media. Beware that if you receive such a ludicrous text, it is likely for the sake of the viral #TurkeyChallenge, and your child may even be baiting you for a response to post online.

This prank seems to be in good humor and many parent responses are appropriately clever, horrified, and hilarious.
