Yeah, so I'm taking a shower:
Then I think I hear something, which is odd,
because I'm the only one home:
Ok, whatever.
I get out, wrap a towel around myself and
head to the kitchen for another cup of coffee
when what do I see?
OH MY GOD - there is a freakin' bird in my house!
A BIG BLACK bird.
I wasn't the only one to freak out.
The bird freaked out too.
It flew all over then settled on a shelf.
I started to panic, what the hell was I supposed to do??
And how the hell did it get in here??
I guess it came in the chimney and the chances of getting
it back up there were, well.......zero.
So I did the only thing I could do....
I put a bathrobe over my head and went after it.
Well, he was ready for a fight, so he flew back and forth
across the room, taunting me the whole time:
Finally, I shooed it over to the sliding glass doors.
I opened them and then threw some index cards
at it to get it out. (hey, that's all I had on hand)
He flew out and into a tree where all his friends were
hanging out watching.....then they all laughed at me.
Stupid birds.

Kerry,
You are TOO funny! But I like your shorter hair.
Love you,
mr. Man
Ugh. I would have freaked out, too. I hope that a big black bird in your house doesn't mean seven years of bad luck or anything like that!
Index cards? You threw index cards at the bird? Why the robe over your head? Are you thinking of bats?
OMG that was the funniest story - gotta love the visual aids too. Especially the one with with you in the shower with one eye open.
thanks for making me laugh!
I think it was the index cards that did it! He couldn't take it! This made me laugh out loud! The drawings just make it...
best blog post I have read in a long time, lol
Glad you got him out! Again, loving the art! You rock!
LOVE the pictures!! I would have FREAKED OUT!!! I'm glad you survived tho!!
Love, Mere
As one who has naturally curly red hair, I HAVE HAD A BIRD STUCK IN MY HAIR, so I get the bathrobe over your head thing. I totally get it.
The illustrations are priceless. Almost made me pee my pants....
Korie - thank you for understanding the robe over the head thing!
Us curlies have to stick together.
lmbfao! i hope you have a good week. hugs
Quite possibly the best illustrated post ever! Hilarious! =) Thanks for sharing!
Your drawings are just the cutest way to tell you story!!! Makes it look pretty funny although you might not have been thinking that at the time.
Maken' me laugh here! Maybe I could hire you to do a post for me someday - when something worthy comes along in my life. No birds in the house lately.
Hey Kerry! Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog. You WON the RAK!
Too funny!!!!!!!!!!
My first response on the "I think I heard something and I'm the only one home" is: you need pets! Seriously. I never mind hearing weird noises at my place because I can always blame the cats (even if it really is an axe wielding psycho strango weirdo).
But I guess owning a pet wouldn't have helped you in this case, since you had an actual reason for your weird noises. Good you got him (or her) out!
Sounds like my husband's battle with a squirrel that surprised him on the coffee table one day and was not happy to be shown the way outside. My husband swears the squirrel still laughs at him. (We finally figured out that he came in through the dryer vent!)
