Whoa, you were just as ignorant as I was! We're both wiser now!

The most annoying thing people bother me with when they see my chickens is "Wow, how can you remember all those names? Can you really tell them all apart?"
And then they laugh incredulously as though I have some sort of super-power.
I get this all the time. It is true that I have over fifty different names to remember, but you probably have even more friends and relatives whose names you can remember with ease! And about telling them apart, they are mostly all different breeds, and I can recognize any of my chickens from 300 feet away. It's just ridiculous.
We have a lot in common! Nobody could tell the difference between Sleeve-Eater and Bluestar for such a long time! Now some people have figured out who's who.
One time I remember my mom saying, "someday when we have chickens, we'll be sure to get a rooster so we can get eggs."
People just don't get it.
