Funny Story!

May 11, 2010

Sarah was going across the street to play with her friend Aly. It was raining so I opened the garage and headed over there. When I got home there was a robin in my garage. It was flying around like crazy. It pooped on the freezer, wall, back door, chairs, another place on the wall, and the garage door. I thought if I shut the garage door maybe I could get it out the back door. I stood at the back door, with my hood on my head for fear of being pooped on, and yelled "birdie, birdie," It just perched itself on the springs of the garage door. I had my cell phone so I called my friend Cathryn, (Her husband is a Police Officer and doesn't leave for work until 1 pm.) and asked if Tim could come help with the bird problem. He came and tried to get the bird to land on a broom so he could carry it out. The bird decided to hide next to the freezer. It just laid there, so I gave Tim a pair of gloves and he picked it up and released it out the door. Needless to say it was a crazy morning. The bird left me many treasures in the garage as a memento. The front of my garage door has several spots on it, and it is still raining so I can't go out and clean it up. Good thing Tim was home to help me, because my whole garage might be covered with poop by now!
