My brunette son does not shy away from enthusiasm. A thrilling event never ceases to amaze him, no matter how banal or repetitive it may seem to the rest of us. So you can only imagine the shrieking, running, open mouthed, hands flailing, can you fucking believe it?! response when he heard the faint squeaking of growing squab. "Birdies!! Birdies!! Birdies!! AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
And THEN imagine the tenor of response when we peered into the slip and got a gorgeous view of the tiny birds, and tiny birds only. All his limbs went stiff, his mouth in a perfect O and I thought he was going to spin on his left heel and then slowly drop to the ground and shimmy to a stop, like a quarter coming to rest on the pavement. Instead he put his little hand around my neck and we just watched those tiny fluffs until he remembered about his new trucks and got too excited to stay in my arms.
OHMYGOSHOHMYGOSHOHMYGOSH!!!!!!!!!!! I am as giddy as our Boy! Baby pigeons, at last, and I am definitely NOT disappointed :O Que Cute, Que Fun!
ReplyDeleteamazing... and a happy song to hum all day as well. Thanks again for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHow truly amazing and wonderful. They look so nicely perched there! The wing nubs or folds or whatever they are kind of look like rivets in the picture, and their bodies look so...ovoid, for lack of a better word. They really look like they were stuffed inside something shaped like an egg for a long time.
