REMEMBER THE OTHER DAY WHEN I INTRODUCED YOU TO THIS PATIENT MOTHER AND HER BOSSY LITTLE BABY?
WELL THEY WERE BACK THIS MORNING. I HEARD A TON OF COMMOTION OUT BY THE BIRD FEEDER AND WENT TO INVESTIGATE.
UNFORTUNATELY I COULDN’T GET TO MY CAMERA WITHOUT SCARING THEM OFF, BUT MOTHER AND BABY WERE BACK AGAIN THIS MORNING AND YOU SHOULD HAVE HEARD THE SCREAMING. BABY FOLLOWED MAMA’S EVERY MOVE…DEMANDING TO BE FED…AT TIMES IT WAS ALMOST PITIFUL…UNTIL I REMINDED MYSELF THAT IT’S AS BIG AS THE MOTHER AND SHOULD GET OVER BEING LAZY AND FEED ITSELF!
THE YELLING WENT ON FOR QUITE AWHILE AND I NEVER ONCE SAW THE MOTHER CROW THREATEN TO TAKE AWAY BABY’S TOYS, OR EVEN RAISE HER VOICE TO IT. SHE SIMPLY PUT UP WITH THE HOLLERING FOR A LONG, LONG TIME AND EVENTUALLY SHOVED SOME FOOD DOWN IT’S THROAT.
FOR ME THE LAST STRAW WOULD HAVE BEEN WHEN IT JUMPED ON HER BACK DEMANDING WHAT SOUNDED LIKE POTATO CHIPS….I AM ALMOST SURE THAT’S WHAT IT SAID. I MIGHT BE WRONG…IT COULD HAVE BEEN CHOCOLATE CHIPS…OR LICORICE WHIPS…I DON’T KNOW…I’LL NEVER KNOW…BUT IF IT WAS MY BABY I’D TELL IT THAT IT COULDN’T COME FOOD HUNTING WITH ME AGAIN UNTIL IT LEARNED SOME MANNERS.
I NEVER, EVER, LET MY KIDS JUMP ON MY BACK WHEN THEY WANTED FOOD. THEY WOULD CLING TO MY LEGS AND I WOULD DRAG THEM AROUND THE HOUSE UNTIL I WAS GOOD AND READY TO FEED THEM. (I’m just kidding)

The shenanigans of the young … just goes to show how lazy the young of today can be… (just kidding) … I remember my kids being dragged along on Linda’s apron strings .. but she hit them with a wooden spoon, worked far better than a loaf of bread… (just kidding..wink, wink.)

lololol…I’m very familiar with the wooden spoon..my mother got US with a wooden spoon….my kids never had the pleasure…just one child and a loaf of bread…he STILL likes to torture me with that story…he has a very LOW pain threshold!

Hysterical! The mama bird should have worn a spiked jacket….that would have taught the demanding baby bird a lesson…no more jumping on mama’s back!

There’s a good idea!!! I could start making and selling the jackets! You of course would get a percentage of the profits for coming up with the idea :):):) hehehe

I think the mother was being so tolerant after feeling the guilt of having said “I HOPE ONE DAY YOU HAVE KIDS JUST LIKE YOU!!!”

lololol!….She did have a guilty look on her face…I wonder how long her tolerance will last…This was an all day festival of elder abuse…so I hope she snaps out of her guilt trip soon and puts the kid in it’s place.

It was very, very FRESH!! As I told Bulldog just moments ago…this child has a VERY low pain threshold…to him it felt like a brick…(He really DOES have a low pain threshold…he stubs his toe and LITERALLY sees stars and nearly blacks out)
