You guys are nuts! Love it. Not a huge fan of birds myself. I think it is the eyes. Yucky. So glad I live in the city. No chicken…or goats. I do have more then my fair share of creepy guys. I don’t open the door either. I think I am going to have to start e mailing my family more often.
Birds are kind of ick! But I love this post!!
You are too funny….I cannot believe you left blogger for wordpress…Now i am going to have to look into this tempter
(wordpress) that keeps stealing all the good blogger woman.
I might be missing out!!
How good is wordpress???

Your family cracks me up! Was this really all one conversation?! I get freaky people coming up to my door all the time and I just pretend like I am not home. And I am with your mom…please don’t start taking in stray chickens!

Hi.Larious. thanks for sharing. will everyone be getting together for the holidays? take care.
LOL! Hilarious. And why is your sister scolwing at all the animals??
Like Daveman, I HIZZATE birds. For EXACTLY the same reasons. They are unpredicatable freaks that flap at you, peck at you, and divebomb. There nasty beaks and gnarled talons and beady eyes are scary as hell. And they’re gross.
But chickens and turkeys do taste good.

Chickens are aggressive. I wouldn’t have let it in either.

Too funny! I thought Roosters were suppose to be alarm clocks. It’s hilarious when they come knocking on the door!

I’m not a big bird fan either. The pics were great!

I love the new design!
Good thing you ignored the chicken, they will chase and peck.
.-= LaTonya´s last post: Not For Hands! =-.
That’s hilarious! And all the pictures to go along make it even better.

That gave me a good laugh! It’s nice to have silly family ;) And please don’t take in any chickens! Dogs are one thing–chickens are another!

And that you have a sweet mom.
I want a sweet mom.

I hate birds too. LOVE the e-mail documentation :)
.-= erica´s last post: Writer’s Workshop: My personal motto is FabULous =-.
Both the conversation and the pictures are too funny! I’m okay with birds but think they are a bit creepy in the house as pets.

I’m so glad I know this family personally… there are just not enough words in the English language to describe the deep and unending love I have for all of you…
Birds are to Daveman what Monkeys are to Jill… solidarity brother, I judge not!
Love it. The facial expressions just totally make it too.
.-= Court´s last post: Friends =-.
I love your family :)
DUDE. I absolutely have to vote with the Dave Man on this one–birds are dirty little creatures of Evil. I am equally skeebed by them.
Someday, I will tell you the story about the Child Who Arrived for a Sleepover With a Live Chicken in Hand…I swear, life is so weird that you can’t even make this shit up.
Love the format of this post!
I am so getting Little A. a pet bird for his next birthday!
