Last night my kids and I were looking at the bird. We are really conflicted about the bird: We enjoy providing its shelter, but despise removing its defecation. One thing we especially hate about the bird is that it can almost turn its head all the way around. Freaky! The bird took flight and fluttered on the porch. I screamed and ran into the house for fear of birdinmyhair.
I learned something about myself that night. I had no inclination to protect my children. I got myself inside and left my kids to fend for themselves. At least now I know. And my kids know. Hopefully this will teach them to be a little more careful and not to expect me to throw myself in harm’s way for them.

Lisa says: I am really intrigued by this bird. Like, I think about its intentions. And backstory.
