Dr. Doolittle

This morning when Jamieson and I were leaving the house, we had a bit of a chat with a crow that was perched on one of the trees next to the car. Jamieson was ahead of me as we were walking out the door, and he stopped so suddenly I nearly plowed him over. What stopped him was "hulllo" "hulllooo". He looked around and spotted the crow, who was giving us the once-over. Then, when Jamieson was looking at it, it said "hulllooo" again....and did some kind of clicking noise. (I swear to God it sounded just like "hullo").

I looked down at Jamieson who, for the first time in his life, was speechless. Mouth hanging open, eyes as round as loonies...hilarious.

Without taking his eyes off the crow, he said "hello, crow". And didn't the damn thing make the "hullo" noise right away! Jamieson was jumping, he was that excited. And what a helluva time getting him into the car!

All the way to daycare, he went on about the talking crow. I'm sure everyone got an earful of it there today...they'll be glad to see me coming to get him, I bet ;)
