My parents have a little woodpecker that sits on the telephone pole right at the edge of their lawn.
Obviously, it's fake, right? Try telling that to a couple of 4 year olds and a 5 yr old :) They were scared to death of this thing! They would run over near about 10 feet away from the pole and just scream their little hearts out at this bird. But it wouldn't fly away! They decided maybe it just couldn't hear very well.
Notice Adelle yelling with her whole body!
I love the way Adelle is looking at Abbie and Abbie is like, "I don't know!"As we were leaving for home, Adelle got brave and went right over to the pole to look at this bird. Abbie is in the van screaming, "Look out Adelle, you're gonna get woodpeck-ed!"
When Adelle gets in the van, they ask me to honk at the bird. So I obliged, and the following conversation took place.
Me: "Hmm...I guess he really can't hear."
Adelle: "No Mom, I saw him. He's nailed."
Me: "Oh my! Wouldn't that make him die?"
Adelle: "Mom, I don't think he was ever alive. He's plastic."
Well, then, okay.
