i don't like

mean geese. i was minding my own sweet business, strolling along the side of the water with my baby girl. i wanted to show her the pretty flowers down by the pond. we were engaged in our little babbled conversation when i got one of those "feelings." i looked up to find a flock of geese, like 9 of them, all staring straight at me, swimming as fast as they could, coming to see if we had anything to eat. i wouldn't have been very concerned except that i suddenly had flashbacks of when i got attacked by a goose who apparently needed to eat my shoelaces. so i slowly backed up. well, that didn't help. suddenly there were three geese on the ground, came out of nowhere, and were racing at us. so, needless to say, i ran back toward the playground, my knight in shining armor rescued me, and it was a happy ending. i told him to go see if the geese would charge at him, his response was, "nah, i don't really feel like killing a goose today."

We had one going after us at the zoo the other day, with Jo in the stroller. Fortunately, our friends were with us, and St knew that if you clap, they go away. It was amazing.
