Tales from the Towel #2
Picture this: A lovely summer day, a delightful symphony of sun, sea, and serenity. Warm rays gently kiss the golden sands, turning them into a welcoming expanse of brilliance. The sky stretches wide and clear, accompanied by a few fluffy, cotton candy-like clouds lazily waving as they drift by. The air is filled with a salty tang, carried on a gentle breeze that rustles through palm fronds and tugs playfully at your Happy Faced beach towel. The temperature is just right, not too hot, and not too cool, making it ideal for both relaxation and outdoor activities.
The ocean stretches out before you in its majestic grandeur, waves rolling in with a rhythmic cadence. Surfers, bob in water that is colored with a stunning palette of blues and greens, inviting you to take a dip and escape the warmth of the sun. Seabirds glide overhead, their calls punctuating the rhythmic sounds of the ocean, and everything seems as it should sitting there on your beach towel.
Suddenly you feel a something hit your head. You, curiously reach up to feel what it was only to discover a wet white substance as your fingers touch your hair and your heart sinks as you realize it’s bird KaKa!
You look at your friends and they begin to point and laugh. It brings back memories of when you were 15 and the time little Jimmy Anderson pantsed you in gym class. How everyone laughed and pointed at you. How you ran away to hide under the bleachers with tears of embarrassment in your eyes and a nose full of snot. How when you got home and told your parents they handed you a belt. That's when you began to realize that your compulsion to tighten your pants a little bit extra and stand with your back to the wall all began...
Whoops, over shared on that one, well I digress, sorry about that. Sounds like I have some things to discuss with my therapist next week.
Anyways… To you, my newly anointed friend I say, welcome to the club. Ah, it’s the universal rite of passage into the elite "I've been pooped on by a bird" club! It's like winning the lottery, except instead of cash, you get a surprise aerial gift from a fine feathered friend. It's nature's way of saying, "Congratulations, you're officially a part of the great outdoors!"
Just remember, next time you're sitting on a Happy Faced towel at the beach, try to take it in stride and keep an eye on the skies – you never know when Mother Nature might decide it's your turn. On a side note: Jimmy and I have been friends for 20 years now. What's up Jimmy!
Drop a comment below. Make bird poop normal again.
Until next time,
