This was the strangest morning ride I have ever had.  E and I load up and are on our way to Daycare when the car starts beeping and "Coolant low" is flashing on the board.  I am thinking "What in the world is coolant?"

I know I am car repair challenged.  So I call my Dad who works 3rd shift.  Half way thru the ringing I remember he was off last night so I have just called him at 6:50 in the morning.  I hang up.  I call J who I know will give me no help at all because I know more about cars than he does.  He says "Thats your antifreeze."  I answer "Oh, NO NO CRAP! I JUST HIT A CHICKEN" E is in the back laughing like crazy, because apparently when you hit a chicken FEATHER fly up in the air just like POOF.  J is still on the phone "Did you even try to miss the chicken"  me: "Well if I went into the other lane I would have hit a car, if I would have slammed on the brakes another car would have hit me, and If I would have gone into the grass I would have hit a whole HERD of chickens"

J: "A herd of chickens??  I don't think thats what you call it."

me: "Well whatever, herd, flock, whatever"

E is still laughing in the back of the car

me:  "E that isn't funny, that poor chicken is dead."

E:  "Is his mouth dead?"

me:  "Yeah, if the chicken is dead, his mouth is too"

E:  "He cant talk"

me: "Not anymore"

E: "Momma, you see that POOF when you hit him? (giggle, giggle, giggle)

me: "Yeah, I saw the POOF" (giggle, giggle, giggle)

 

So after that I kinda felt bad about me and E laughing about the poor chicken.  It wasn't funny, poor thing died to save the rest of his herd, flock whatever, its not a gaggle right? thats geese. 

 

Then they were playing the spiderman song on the radio because today is the opening for Spiderman 3.  E says

"Momma, you hear that?  They say Spiderman!"

me: Yeah, I heard the Spiderman song"

E:  "Spiderman a friend to all SPIDERS"

me: "Yuck"

E: "Yeah Momma, yuck"
