Think you’re an experienced multi-tasker? Think again. A Boston woman has succeeded at one of the all-time greatest Thanksgiving Day juggling acts when she managed to cook a turkey while helping deliver her baby granddaughter.

The woman, Patricia McCalop, was in the middle of preparing the meal when her daughter suddenly went into labour two weeks early. She called 911, and a dispatcher talked her through the delivery and helped her confirm that the baby girl was breathing. Paramedics arrived shortly afterward and took the new mother and the newborn to the hospital. Both are in good health. McCalop said she kept running between the kitchen and her daughter because didn’t want the turkey to burn while she helping her child deliver the baby. One can only hope she didn’t mix up her tool kits while doing double duty.
