Tweety

I have two reasons to believe my son was a bird in another life.

  1. He whistles all the time. Now, I am very proud of the fact that he can whistle. Last summer he practiced whistling every day until he got it right. He does a spot on imitation of R2-D2. He will whistle you a tune at the drop of a hat. He's very good and I am proud of his accomplishment. However, he feels the need to begin whistling at like 6AM. Just like a bird. (Actually the birds begin earlier, but I'm not going to tell him that for fear that he will start at 5AM.)
  2. Have you ever seen birds in a puddle after a rainstorm after a hot, dry stretch of weather in the summertime? They're in there splashing and frolicking and having a grand old time, happy to finally have some water. I'm reminded of this every morning when I go into the bathroom after my son is finished brushing his teeth and washing his face and hands. Water splashed everywhere. The mirror is dripping. Water all over the place. I mean, come on, what is he doing in there?

I think I'm going to check for feathers tonight after his bath just in case.

This made me giggle!

I'm guessing it's not completely true, though, or else your cat would be a little more interested in him. :P
