Makes a Certain Kind of Sense
You just never know what will come out of my children's mouth. This time it was Pete. The conversation went something like this:
Pete: Do Chickens eat worms?
Mom: I'm not sure. They do on TV but that that doesn't make it real. I know they eat grains.
Re-Pete: Birds (pronounced bo-wuds) eat worms.
Pete- Some birds eat dead things. Like vultures. If you lay really still they'll come peck at you.
...... Bou blink .....
Mom: I'm pretty sure you have to have that dead-smell for them to peck at you.
Pete: Or if your hugging a dead person outside and get that smell on you and then you lay down really still.
...... crickets chirping in the silence....
Mom: Maybe so.
Reminds me of a shirt my sister used to have:
If you can Dazzle 'Em with Your Brilliance,
Baffle 'Em with Your Bullshit.

Good Grief, that is hysterical. Because you know... we frequently hug dead people and then lay down really still outside. I can't quit laughing at that!
