When you have feathers but you belong to a flock of beings that don’t have any feathers, you have to adapt. For instance, as a feathery being, you prefer to eat your meals in daylight. However, many featherless beings seem to like to save the last meal of the day for after the sun goes down.ContinueContinue reading “Day 277: Advanced Stalking Skills”

There is a reason beings with feathers like to climb trees. That is where the crunchiest fruit grows. Let’s say, for instance, that you have feathers and a very tall tree walks by. Here, you would want to climb up it right away to get to the fruit before your competitors do. Author: Shannon CuttsContinueContinue reading “Day 276: The Crunchiest Fruit”

Many companies today like to install something called an “intercom system.” This helps people at the front of the office find people at the back of the office and vice versa. It is basically the equivalent of loudly yelling someone’s name….without the (highly unprofessional) yelling, of course. These systems don’t come cheap. Yet oddly, forContinueContinue reading “Day 275: Intercom System”

Every summer like clockwork, you watch your large featherless assistant begin stocking up your frig with sweet watery things. They come in all shapes, sizes, and colors – from large oblong green striped things to small round orange things to red heart-shaped things with green tops. She cuts them up and stores them in thatContinueContinue reading “Day 274: Fresh Plastic Bag”

Living with a large featherless housemate definitely has its perils. For instance, sometimes Mom decides she is in the mood to do something called “cooking.” Your grandma, Chef Small Tree, is an excellent cook. Your mom…..isn’t. Author: Shannon Cutts Co-Author: Pearl Cutts

When you are petite, feathery and very cute, it goes without saying that you will need an assistant to keep the admiring hordes at bay. But if you choose a large featherless being for your assistant, you may find yourself having to do a surprising amount of assisting yourself. Take “making tea,” for instance. WhileContinueContinue reading “Day 272: Making Tea”

When making great conversation, it helps if you are very cute (which typically means you have feathers). Reason being, regardless of species, beings just tend to pay more attention to your words when there is eye candy to look at too. But there is also an art to conversation itself. For instance, you want toContinueContinue reading “Day 271: The Art of Great Conversation”

For all their size and so-called “evolved brains,” the large featherless beings can be surprisingly fond of routine. Each day is the same as the day before. Same activities, same habits….same menu. Sometimes it takes someone (small and feathery) with a fresh perspective to shake things up a bit. For instance, if you breakfasted on lettuce yesterdayContinueContinue reading “Day 270: Curtains for Breakfast”

Sadly, some (mostly featherless) beings search their whole lives and never find their unique prettiness. But when you are lucky enough to be born with feathers, you already know everyone is very pretty (although not as pretty as you are, of course – this part can’t be helped). Otherwise, it is not a matter of IFContinueContinue reading “Day 269: Finding Your Prettiness”

When you have feathers, you also come pre-installed with a keen “sixth sense.” Unfortunately, your large featherless housemate does not share your gift. This means she can be hoodwinked by intruders left and right. For instance, not so long ago a small round featherless intruder boldly invaded your casa. Your featherless assistant still hasn’t noticed. In fact, sheContinueContinue reading “Day 268: Detecting Intruders”
