This past week I've taken a few bird walks around the neighborhood after getting off work. Today yielded Yellow-rumped Warblers, Bushtits (I found another nest! and probably freaked out the neighbor in whose yard it was in by standing there staring at it for five minutes), House Sparrows, House Finches, American Crows, American Robins, Rock Pigeons, Song Sparrows, and European Starlings, nothing too out of the ordinary. But when going down one of the alleys I finally ran into the children from whose yard I made this.



Seriously, that place is a death trap -- located in a little alley way with no fence (where any pervert could walk off with a kid) and rusty nails and broken toys all around. Anyway. So I ran into some of the little children living there. They were playing on the rope swing and occasionally falling off. There were two girls and a boy, the girls around six maybe and the boy maybe four or five.

Thus follows our conversation.

"Who are you?"

"Er, I live over there," I said, pointing vaguely.

"Are you a mom?"

"Um, no?"

"Do you have daughters?"

"Um, no. I'm too young to have any kids!"

"Then what are you? Do you know my mom?"

"No, I haven't met your mom. I'm going to school to be a vet and take care of cats and dogs."

"Oh, so you have to take care of them. And don't let them run away."

"Yep!"

One of the kids pointed to the clouds behind me. "I see a pig in the clouds!"

I looked behind me. There was indeed a pig face. "Oh yes, I see it too!"

Talkative girl looked at me perfectly earnestly. "Maybe, when you die like a pig, then your picture goes up in the sky!"

Me: ".........."

Girl: "See you tomorrow!!!"

So... in today's news... children are fucking creepy. O_O
