a flock of seagulls

Today the kidlet and I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things.  When we returned to our car, there were a ton of seagulls flying around the parking lot looking for stuff to eat.

The kidlet had some crackers that my mother had given to him at her house right before we went to the store.  He accidentally dropped some on the floor of the car and he threw them out the window and the gulls immediately swarmed to fight over the three or four he threw out there.  He was laughing at them fighting over the crackers.  I told him to hand me one, because I wanted to try something.

I took the cracker and opened my sunroof just enough to put it on the glass and closed it.  I wanted to see if we could get them to land on the sunroof and watch them eat it.  Sure enough, about three of them landed right on the sunroof and the kidlet and I were hysterical watching them right above our heads.  I couldn’t get my phone out to snap a picture because I was laughing too hard.

We attracted a crowd of people coming out of the store and a bunch of cars were stopping to watch what was going on.  They were hysterically laughing as well.  A couple in a really nice car pulled into the parking space next to us and had to wait a bit to get out because there were so many birds all over the place.  I am pretty sure that people thought we were insane.

Oh well, it’s all good.  I am halfway to insanity
