Chicken Dinner is an old urban legend about a married couple who trust a babysitter to take care of their young son. Instead of being scary, it ends up being rather horrifying.
One evening, a mother and father were invited to a party. They couldn’t get in contact with their usual babysitter, so they decided to ask their next door neighbor, an old lady, to take care of their six-month old baby son. The old woman said she would be delighted to help them out.
They told her they needed to leave by 8pm, but when the time came, the old woman had still not shown up. The husband gave her a phone call and asked her what was taking her so long.
“Oh, I’m sorry”, said the old woman. “I forgot all about it. I’ll come over right now.”
When the old woman came to the door, the mother and father were already making their way to the car. They gave the old woman instructions to put the baby to bed at 9pm and put a chicken in the oven so it would be cooked for the next day’s dinner.
While the couple were at the party, the mother decided to phone home and check on the babysitter. When the old woman answered the phone, the mother asked if she had put the baby to bed yet.
“Oh, I’m sorry”, said the old woman. “I forgot all about it. I’ll do it right now.”
“And have you put the chicken in the oven?” asked the mother.
“Oh, I’m sorry”, said the old woman again. “I forgot all about that too. I’ll do it right now.”
The mother just rolled her eyes and hung up the phone. She couldn’t really complain because the old lady was babysitting for free.
After the party, the mother and father drove home and when they opened the front door, the old lady was there to greet them. They thanked the old lady for taking care of their baby and she went home. The mother decided to go upstairs to check on the baby, but when she walked into the child’s bedroom, she was shocked to see an uncooked chicken lying in the crib.
Downstairs, the husband smelled smoke coming from the kitchen. He opened the oven and shouted upstairs to his wife “You won’t believe this, Honey! That forgetful old lady has gone and burned our chicken dinner!”
accidental murder. How cheesy
thats just sad
The Old woman cooked the baby of the Couple. XD
The baby probably wouldn’t taste good seeing as it would have 💩ed itself because it was only 6 months. But the perfect murder disguise, an old lady. I like that idea. 😃
Yeah, at least the chicken is all right… right?
the chicken looks good
She swapped she put the chicken in the cot ant the baby in the oven
No, it’s not that the old lady killed the baby on purpose. She just got the chicken and the baby mixed up.
We’re given clues all throughout the story. She’s very forgetful due to old age, and so she made an honest mistake.
Chilling, yes, but she isn’t a murderer.
i cried after reading this. cause you see i have a baby nephew who is six months old. and it would be horrible if.. well, it’s to sad to say. :'(
Neverscaredgirl9: um hhheeeeelllllooooo reason 3
MUR-DER-ERRRRRR
never trust old ladies for 2 reasons: 1:forgetful 2:eyesight
I think the father was pretty stupid and not a good father, because when he found the baby in the oven he said “She burned out chicken dinner”
@ pinkKaygana
i agree, i think she is a killer but she doesnt tell anybody
That was a stupid father!!!! that old lady was creepy and she burned the b-b-baby D:
vegetarian for cannibalism pualiej. cannibalism!
See I’m a vegetarian so I won’t have to worry about this xD
This actually happened to someone but the babysitter wasn’t an old lady it was a teenager and she was on drugs. D:
thanks, Taken4Life!!! im glad u do :) who else does??
pinkKaygana i agree!! xD
its funny …. the chicken looks good
yeh… but i still think the woman is a killer…
after they said to put the baby to bed at nine and the chicken in the oven i totally knew that the baby was going to go into the oven instead. thats awful
its actually quiet funny. AND smart.
You see, the woman could have been a killer. but age was on her side. if the police came and asked her what happened ( and if she still hasnt misteriously disappeared ) she could just say that she is blind.
well done, old lady!
That is screwed up in many ways.
awww its sad she killed the baby
that was weird.
