Baby in the Oven
Baby in the Oven, The This urban legend usually includes a hippie-type young woman who has been left as babysitter for an infant. When the parents call in the middle of the evening to check on the infant, the girl reports that she has stuffed the turkey and put it in the oven. The parents do not remember having a turkey, nor giving her instructions to bake anything. They return home quickly to find that the drug-crazed young woman had stuffed the baby and put it in the oven to bake. The story has been updated to include a microwave as the oven.
