Imitation is the Sincerest Form of Flattery!
The Junior Food Man came to visit overnight. He liked to get up early and collect eggs and give treats to everyone. Today it was the last few grapes, spaghetti and cheerios. The girls were very excited and crowded around his feet hoping for more.
Hot Stuff was disgusted with the Junior Food Man. He took all Hot Stuffâs girls! Hot Stuff chased the Junior Food Man around the yard. Finally, Junior caught Hot Stuff and carried him around like a football. Hot Stuff did not like being a football so he left the Junior Food Man alone after that. Walter got picked up too, but not because he was pushy, but because he was big and slow. Walter got very heavy very fast, so Junior soon put him down. Walter was not bothered much by the experience, as he is very mellow to begin with, not like the fiesty Hot Stuff. He came right back looking for treats.
Barbara was still quiet today. She and Leroy stuck together and picked through the grass and leaves. She spent an hour in the nest box pushing out another brown egg. Darn! She just could not seem to make a blue one! Oh well.
The others took advantage of the situation by doing imitations of Barbara. The silver sisters landscaped the sidewalk with mulch and dirt like Barbara likes to do.
The Uppity Ms. Blue Egg had a tightrope contest with Wanda and teetered all around the top of the extra empty jail pen on her skinny legs. Wanda just sat on top of the pen and did not tightrope walk. She did not realize that it was a contest. She thought the fence made Ms. Blue Eggâs Butt look big anyway.
