We found a nest of baby birds in one of the trees in our backyard. They are very ugly and pink without feathers (they must have just hatched). In the midst of our conversation about this new discovery Catherine gave me a very interesting lesson in the life cycle of birds.
CATHERINE: Baby birds are called snoogleboops.
JANE: Oh really? I didn't know that.
CATHERINE: Yes, they are. And then they eat worms and grow up and they become violinsos.
JANE: Wow. I had no idea.
All that college and not once a mention of a snoogleboop, what a crime. Thank you Catherine. Aunt Meg is going to eat this up.
