Yesterday Julie, Jacob and I were sitting at the drive through at the bank, and we were very entertained by the pigeons that gather there. Before long we were naming them and making up stories about their life. I love that my kids have my crazy sense of humor and vivid imagination.
Susie and Bob got in a tiff, and we knew right away who was who in the pair. Of course, Bob had the prettier feathers, and Susie was rather dull, but she had a fiery disposition to make up for the lack of beauty. Bob strutted off, and Susie was right behind him. She was chattering away in pigeon speak. They were both strutting across the drive, their heads just a bobbin. The faster Bob went to avoid Susie and her pigeon fury, the more Susie chattered at him. She told him what for, and he could not get away from her.
There were other couples in the flock who seemed to be having the same relationship issues. Maybe it was a group counseling session that we happened upon. Whatever it was, we were very entertained. Julie finally said, "Mom, it's springtime, which means mating season. Lets get out of here before things get out of control."
We left the pigeons to their bobbin and spatting, and were off to other adventures. We had a good laugh about our story telling abilities, and we were all glad that an otherwise dull five minutes of waiting in line at the bank, was instead five minutes of stories and laughter.
Life is good, laugh about it!
