76/94: Macabre
Day Seventy-six: Photo props left in the window.
Boy Wonder: (walking past the remains of a photo shoot) Mom! That’s not a dead bird! Is it?
Me: Yes, it is a dead bird. I just went outside and whacked the first black bird of a specific size over the head. You know, so I could take a pretty picture. Don’t you think people will want to buy my candles more if there are recently deceased birds in the product shots?
Ok, I didn’t really say that.
Seriously? Dead bird? Where does he get this stuff? I cannot roll my eyes further into my head without risking brain injury. There is entirely too much sarcasm and not enough common sense in this house.

Hello ~ Welcome to Evidently

Sarcasm is good, as long as it’s mixed with some common sense. I would have said, “Hey, nice looking dead bird there–is that dinner?” hee hee

The kid was serious. He really thought it was a dead bird. Common sense is not so common around here.
Maybe you should be complimented that your props look so real.

Oh sure, take the kid’s side in this, Jiden! But seriously, that child should know by now that if I was shooting photos with a dead bird it would be OUTSIDE. Never in the house, come on! ~W
Well, I for one am glad that you aren’t just running around whacking birds. That would be really a downer, W.

Right? I totally agree. ~W
I’ve been coming and looking at this photo for the past two days and it never fails to make me laugh.

Heh… that’s me. Dead birds and all.
Brother-in-law was over to mow the grass yesterday and found a dead bird. Sad for the bird but happy he spotted it before he mowed that spot.
