The absolute craziest thing happened to us the other day. The girls and I were with my sister at the Polynesian Resort in Disney World. Nick was in Orlando for Odyssey of the Mind stuff so the girls and I drove down to see his kids perform and to hang out with him. All three girls took a nap in the car on the way to Orlando (something so rare that it is worth noting) so I told them that we could all ride the monorail as a reward. Katie happened to be there doing Disney cast member stuff so she met us for dinner, which puts us at the Poly, outside, eating some chicken with pineapple and pulled pork nachos (which were FANTASTIC). Alexa had the nachos in front of her and was munching away listening to Katie and I talk. We had just finished telling the girls that we had something super awesome planned for this evening (again, yay for naps) but we could not do anything fun if we had any fussers. There was to be no complaining and absolutely no crying. As soon as the words left my mouth, we were attacked! A giant black bird swooped down, slammed on the table between myself and Alexa, grabbed a chunk of food off of the nacho plate and then took off flying over Kate’s head, brushing Alexa’s face with it’s wings! It was the craziest shit I have ever seen! Katie and I sat there with our mouths open. All of the people around us stared at us in shock and Kate and Alexa had a look of horror on their faces. When we finally came to our senses, Katie and I looked at each other and then at the girls and told them that it was okay to cry. Alexa immediately burst into tears and Kate jumped out of her chair exclaiming “I’m done eating!”. We threw away the rest of the food and ran inside before any more birds could attack (and so did a couple of the people who were sitting around us). It was something straight out of my nightmares. Those nasty, feathered sky rats have it out for me and my children. They fly together in flocks so that they can plan their next attack. You think I’m crazy but this shit is real!!! Nick would agree with you too, he doesn’t pay attention to half of what I talk about anymore. He says that I give animals too much credit because I think that they communicate with each other and think intelligently but I’m telling you this bird was serious about his attack! So what have we learned from this experience? Birds are evil and you must believe everything Disney World says, which leads me to my PSA of the day. I love Disney World and the revamp of the Polynesian looks amazing, but if Disney tells you to not feed the birds, DO NOT FEED THE DAMN BIRDS!!!!! They will think that everybody’s food is for them and they will attack you and your children!
