WTF????
So I come home last night from taking Josh and Lexie (my friend's 5 year old daughter, whom I was babysitting) out to dinner. Just after we get our coats and shoes off, I notice a dark shape at the other end of the house atop the curtain rod. After a few seconds of staring, I make out the shape - THERE WAS A FUCKING BLACK BIRD IN MY HOUSE!
I herded the kids upstairs - they to the playroom, me closing all the other doors, then going into my room. I call Ken in a panic (he was at the tax office) but he was with a client and couldn't just leave. So I call my aunt and uncle, and my uncle says he'll head right over. In the meantime, I'm standing my doorway and the damn bird flies upstairs!!!! I slam my door shut and call over to the kids to stay in the playroom and keep the door closed. Then I called 911. They must have thought I was friggin' crazy. I was trying not to sound like I was crying (which I was) as I explained to the dispatcher what was going on.
A few minutes later my uncle and the police officer pull up within seconds of each other. I yelled down to them that it was upstairs and I wasn't opening my door! They chased it downstairs and apparently it flew to the dining room for a few moments, then when it realized the front door was open, it flew out. The police officer left before I even came out of my room. Hope he enjoyed his big emergency call of the night!
My uncle said the bird was a starling. I just thought it was BIG, and I'd like to know how the hell it got into my house!!!!!!
