The @#*($&@#($@#*&$ birds are trying to make a nest on our porch again. The second I heard their evil, squawky peeps, I felt as though I had PTSD, and I immediately twitched tourrettes-like. I exploded out of the house, waved my hands like a freakin’ crazy lady and screamed “Get outta here!”
My kids came running over while I joked to my husband that the birds were doing the ‘hippity dippity’ and trying to make our porch their home again. My nine-year-old giggled uncontrollably. I slammed the door. “NOT ON MY WATCH!” I yelled while motioning a fist pump as my husband laughed at me.
My husband resumed whatever he was doing when I heard the all-too-familiar squawks again. “Dammit, babe – get out the flyswatter!”
He grumbled at me, “Look, babe -if you want to play ‘Birdie Birth Control,’ be my guest. Leave me out of it.”
‘Birdie Birth Control’ – just a typical day here in the Douglas household.
