It's 1/1/11 and Virgil hates birds.

Sometimes, especially at times when I'm being woken up at the ungodly hour of 10 a.m. on New Year's Day by the obnoxious squawking of birds, I like to imagine what the birds might be saying to one another.
This is how I picture it:
Bird Number 1 (posh British accent): Why hello there, Bird Number 2. How are you on this fine New Year's morning?
Bird Number 2 (rural Kentucky accent): HI BIRD NUMBER 1 IT'S NEW YEAR'S MORNING AND GUESS WHAT? I'M A BIRD!!!! 
Bird Number 1: Well, young fellow, there's no need to shout.
Bird Number 2: I'M A BIRD!! ISN'T IT GREAT? WE'RE ALL BIRDS!!! YAYY!!!
Bird Number 1: Tut, tut, Virgil is trying to sleep.
Bird Number 2: HAPPY NEW YEAR, VIRGIL!!! I'M A BIRD!!!
Bird Number 3: I'M A BIRD TOO!!!
Birds 2 & 3: YAY WE'RE BIRDS AND IT'S NEW YEAR'S MORNING YAYYY
 
Oh, joy.


So today, we're going to have fun with Virgil's iTunes library! Yay!


This is a thing I found on Facebook. I'm sorry if it's really lame.

[This one is totally spot-on! I love Dobby!]

  2. (Psst. I believe that the 'thing' is officially known as a 'meme.' However, I could be wrong.)

    Getting woken up by birds is less annoying than getting woken up by your baby sister charging enthusiastically into your room and making a giant mess, though.

    I enjoyed the irony of the last question.
