BABY CHICKEN

This urban myth is more likely a scare story, but it has to be told. A couple from San Francisco asked the girl next door if she could babysit on Friday night so that they could go to the cinema. The girl readily agreed and, come Friday night, the couple left their baby with the girl. The couple enjoyed the film and decided to go for a drink before returning home, but the wife, like most mothers, was a little worried about her baby and decided to call to see if everything was all right. The phone was eventually answered by the girl, who told the mother everything was fine and that she had put the chicken in the oven for dinner. Satisfied, the mother joined her husband at the bar. As the mother recounted the conversation to her husband, it suddenly occurred to her that the girl had mentioned something about a chicken. Concerned, the couple returned home to find the girl freaking out. It seems the girl had taken LSD, and in her hallucination, taken the baby for a chicken and put it in the oven.
