The Tragedy of the Bird

A tragedy ocurred last night.

Here is my very own version of the tragedy in Shakesperean form:

Act 1, Scene 1:
Lauren arrives at her house. The three Adams siblings (and spouses, minus Ben) are going to dinner this evening at Red Lobster. After a lengthy conversation with 3 year old Cassidy about the chicken and cow song, it is finally time to leave.
Eric: Hey, Lauren, you come with me and Heather. Zach and Hilary will pick up grandma and meet us there.
Lauren: Ok, sounds good.
Heather: Well, actually, our car is too full of our stuff; maybe Lauren can drive instead.
Lauren: Ok, sounds good.

The three get into Lauren's green Subaru with the broken radio. The three wave to 3 year old Cassidy who is trying to run away from her daddy's hands and pleading to get into her car seat.

Act 2, Scene 1:
Lauren, Eric, and Heather are chit-chatting about work. They have been in the car approximately 2 minutes, Lauren trying really hard not to be too jerky on the clutch to impress her brother.
Heather: I'm so hungry! I've been craving Red Lobster.
Lauren: Oh, I know, any chance to have seafood is good.
Eric: So, Lauren, how's substituting going?
Lauren: Pretty good, kind of slow lately. (Lauren sees a small bird in the middle of the road ahead of her; thinking to herself Surely that bird is going to move.)

A thud is heard and soon there after the sight of little dead birdy feathers fly over the hood of the green Subaru.

Lauren: Oh my heck! I just hit a bird!
Heather: I thought it was going to move.
Eric: HAHAHAHAHA!
Lauren: Oh, that's so sad (looking in the rearview mirror at the recently deceased birdy).
Eric: HAHAHAHAHA!

THE END!!!

I'm not very proud of this moment as I generally am a very nice person not known to harm animals of any kind (minus the ants I burned when I was a kid). But, it's true.

I have the birdy guts on the front of my car to prove it.
