Ew, ew, ew!!!! So, I am sitting at my kitchen table, facing the three large single-pane windows that face out to our deck, clacking away at my computer with intense concentration when suddenly the serene silence is pierced by a loud BANG not 10 feet from me.
It all happens so fast-
BANG
Big white mass falls
THUMP
cloud of feathers where BANG happened
my heart drops because I have just witnessed a bird kill itself on my deck
Then, I text Brian. And kinda wish that he is here so he can go get rid of it. Knowing him, he would take several pictures of it first and then tell me what kind of bird it is was (snif!!).
After that, I IM my younger brother, who is sitting upstairs in his room. Yeah, we're funny like that. And by funny I mean, slightly lame. Anyway-
me: OMG!!!!!!
brother: ...
me: a huge bird just flew into the kitchen window
me: it's PROBABLY DEAD
brother: nice
me: and LYING ON THE DECK
me: can you go get rid of it
brother: no
me: ew ew ew ew ew ew wwwwwww
me: NOOOOO
me: IT CANNOT LAY THERE ALL DAY
me: YOU ARE A MAN
me: GO THROW IT AWAY
brother: errr
brother: well let's wait a bit
brother: and see if it's really dead
me: it's TOTALLY dead
brother: if it is..then i'll shovel it to the woods
brother: how do you know?!
me: it hit the window pretty hard
me: and it hasn't flown away
brother: it could just be knocked out
me: there were feathers flying and everything
me:nooooo
me: i'm afraid to stand up in case i can see it
brother: i don't want to like shovel it..and then it like FLIPS OUT
me: so throw something at it first
brother: yea ok
brother: no
me: wahh
brother: i'll do it in a bit
me: wahhh
brother: just don't look at it!
me: ok ok
me: snif
brother: i just want to confirm that it's dead
brother: so i'll wait
brother: haha
I just want to point out that there are no woods to speak of near my house. I live in a highly suburban housing development. There is like, a row of single trees.
Are we the epitome of suburban kids or what? ;)
me: NOW IT'S RAINING
me: RAINING ON THE DEAD BIRD
brother: oh stop it
But he has just gone out to the garage to get the shovel. My hero!
