Day 50: Potato Chips

For those lucky enough to be born with a sharp pointed curved beak, all the world is a shreddable crunchy delicacy. Cheerios. Wicker. Grout. Photographs. Price tags. Library books. Potato chips. While it is always thoughtful of the large featherless beings to separate out a specific portion just for you, what is even more funContinueContinue reading “Day 50: Potato Chips”

Day 49: Lorikeet

Lorikeets are “medium sized arboreal parrots” who use their long, delicate tongues to sip nectar from flowers, fruits, and berries. What is less well-known is that lorikeets can come in many exotic color combinations, and that they can use their slender tongues to find nectar in the most unusual places.

What is Pretty and Musical and Grey and White All Over?

Sometimes that rarest of alchemies occurs…..when someone is born who is both stunningly pretty and tremendously talented. When this happens, of course, it is only fair to share your beauty and creative gifts with the world. Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: Pearl Cutts

Day 48: Feathers

Feathers happen. They happen to some of us more than others of us, but ultimately when they happen to one of us, they happen to all of us. For instance, say one member of the household was born with feathers. The other one was born without feathers. The one with the feathers may from timeContinueContinue reading “Day 48: Feathers”

Day 47: Born Ready

When you have a sleek aerodynamic physique and keen black eyes, you were clearly born ready. Because opportunity can knock at any moment, your extra helping of natural readiness really comes in handy. Say, for example, the large featherless being has prepared one of your favorite dishes – steamed broccoli with flingable parmesan cheese topping.ContinueContinue reading “Day 47: Born Ready”

Day 46: Mini-Blinds

There’s no other way to say it. Mini-blinds are delicious. Delectable. Pure 5-star gourmet fare. They have everything a diner might want in a dish – crunch, texture, easy ingestion, and an attractive white color (that goes so well with classic light grey). However, oddly, the large featherless creatures often appear reluctant to serve themContinueContinue reading “Day 46: Mini-Blinds”

Day 45: Ordering Out

At times (and especially around the holidays) it can be helpful to take a refresher course on how to “order out.” For instance, say one day you have decided to dine “out of cage.” Sensing your plans, the large featherless waitress has assembled a selection of items for your consideration. So now all you needContinueContinue reading “Day 45: Ordering Out”

Day 44: Cooking

Sometimes the large featherless being gets busy in the kitchen. This can be scary (you have tasted some of her “creations”) so the best way you can help her is to try your best to distract her with cuteness if possible. For instance, if you see she is trying to make a complicated dish likeContinueContinue reading “Day 44: Cooking”

Day 43: Celery

Dining with the large featherless being can be lots of fun. If you have even a hint of personal creativity (not to mention pride in your presentation) you can fill your Mommy with shock and awe without even half trying. Say, for instance, your featherless dining partner is about to enjoy some fresh celery. YouContinueContinue reading “Day 43: Celery”
