The Amazing Life of Birds
“Perhaps it's all part of this puberty thing but it's still not pleasant.
Totally crackers.
First, I wake up this morning like somebody gave me an electric shock. One second I'm sound asleep, drooling on my pillow, out, dead, not even dreaming, and the next I'm lying flat on my back staring at the ceiling counting the square tiles.
There are ninety-six of them.
And strange things are happening to my body. Parts are moving inside me, and coming outside me, and other parts are tightening up, and w...hen I went down to have breakfast I looked at the rooster on the cornflakes box and bam, ELBOW. For a split second I thought the rooster had actually changed and turned into something else and I looked around wondering if anybody else had seen it but no. My father was sipping coffee over the sink, where he drinks it because he spills, and my mother was reading the newspaper while she ate a piece of dry toast because she worries about her weight, and my sister was sitting at the table wondering how to destroy the whole human race if she can't get her hair to look just … exactly … perfect.MoreLess
