Death, Coming out of the Closet, Birth. I’ve got it all.


**ELAINE? ARE YOU READING THIS? YOU CAN GO ON AND SKIP THIS ONE.**

LB hunts at his mother’s house. Birds. With a bb gun. Sweety said something to the coaew about it and she said that LB enjoys it. She says he eats what he kills. I say he can’t be so fucking hungry that he needs to shoot tiny birds out of trees. I saw a photo of him online, smiling from ear to ear, gun across his body and a bird the size of a tiny rat with feathers in his hand. She said he ate it. I don’t believe her and I don’t care if he did eat it. I think it’s one thing to hunt for food. He’s not hunting “for food”. He’s killing birds. I threw up when I saw the photo.

He told me a few weeks ago that he built 3 bird feeders for the trees in the yard over there. I wonder if they’re like salt licks for deers? Get them in the habit of coming by for some grub so you can blow them out of the sky?

It makes me sad.

I’m just totally freaked out by the whole thing. I can’t even look at him right now. I want to ask him if the bird was tasty. I have told Sweety that I’ll never hear another word out of LB’s mouth at dinnertime if he doesn’t want to eat something. If you can pick a bb out of a feathered rat’s ass and eat it then you can damn well eat anything I cook.

My sweet Mom happened to call today when I was in the middle of freaking out over the bird killing thing. Somehow, the conversation turned to religion. I’ve come out of the closet with my Mom. She’s knows I’m an atheist now. I told her I have morals because they are the right thing to have. Not because I want to go to heaven. She said that she would still pray for me and I told her that was fine.

In other news, here’s where baby chihuahuas REALLY come from.

  1. Oh! I LOVE your new dinner time rule. Good for you. I’d print that picture out and use it the next time he groans at the dinner table. And, I think I’d make ass loads of veggies and things he doesn’t like a lot for a while.

    But, then, I’m evil sometimes.

    I didn’t think to save the photo. coaew got smart and made her facebook private so all of florida can’t see that her son is a redneck bird killer.

    I promise you, I’m no longer going to bend over backwards to make dinner. I’ve been in the habit of going out of my way to not cook things that the boys (LB especially because he’s such a pill when he has to do something he doesn’t like) won’t bitch about. No more!

    I’ll tell BB that he can thank LB for the menu change. Heh, heh.

    Bwahahaha. Now THAT is creative parenting. Bwahahahaha.

    I have often used the “thank your brother” or “thank your sister” when it comes to Ethan and Kate. It sounds crappy, but the truth is, it keeps them from ganging up on us. God knows if they got Maggie on their side as well, Mike and I would be living at the park around the corner.

    Heh, on the occasion that they’ve both gotten in trouble over what one of them did – the sound of them fucking fighting about it was enough to make me want to icepick my eardrums.

    you should have scooped up the bird you took a picture of wit your phone today…

    put that on his plate.

    and then be all.. “What?!” lol

    will mom enlist the help of others to help pray for you?
    i love it when they do that. ; }

    Chickie said:

    Bwhahahahaha! That bird was a chicken so we could have all enjoyed it!

    Oh, I’m sure my Mom will put me on the prayer list at her church. That’s fine. I’m fine with what she does. Now that she knows the truth about me, maybe she will stop asking me if I’ve been reading my bible every time we talk and I can stop lying and saying yes!

    No. Fucking. way.
    She lets him kill little birds? Like normal every day birds? Birds not meant for human consumption birds?

    What the fuck is wrong with her?!?

    And yes, i’m with you, no more bending over backwards to make him meals that he will eat.
    Fuck that picky food eating shit, if he can eat a little bird, then he can eat whatever it is that you place on his plate at dinner time every single night with absolutely no complaints ever again.

    reply

    Chickie said:

    She said the bird was a dove. What the fuck ever. I don’t care what kind of bird it was. If he’s so hungry that he needs to shoot shit, I’ll send a grocery card over there.

    What’s wrong with her? She’s a total idiot.

  4. Believe it or not, a lot of little boys used to shoot birds with BB guns. It’s a challenge since you have use the maximum number of pumps to get them. Eating them is not really any different than eating duck or geese but, for some reason, seems kind of is kind of gross.

    Chickie said:

    a lot of little boys used to shoot birds with BB guns. I know…I know…But why can’t he just shoot at cans? They make a nice ping sound and then you get to keep the bb.

  5. That is very very distressing. I hate to think that he enjoyed killing that Bird OR Any Bird, for that matter…And…well, do you think he actually DID Eat it??? I mean, who cooked it…The Ex???
    I agree with you that this is very very sad. To not have the heart to value all living things—-Well, the EX is leading him down a very thorny path!
    I hope you never go to any trouble for him in the food department, ever again….And if that is mean of me….Well, I’m sorry.

    His stepdad is a big hunter. They’ve got all kinds of deer heads and wild cats mounted on their walls. And I truly do not think he ate that little bird. It couldn’t have made a mouthful.

  6. This is so sad. Sometimes I’m glad I didn’t have kids because this is the kind of situation that I’m not sure I would have known how to deal with.

    Thank goodness you showed us where the baby chihuahuas come from…

  7. The coaew is one idiot woman. Killing small birds – no fucking way! An I sincerely doubt that LB is eating what he shoots! Good for you – change the menu and have it all YOUR way!

    Chickie said:

    This is horrible, but I really am trying to think of something “interesting” to cook this weekend.

  8. I’m sorry Chickie but I fail to see just WHY you cannot discuss this with him? It disturbs me also.. especially the part about the fucking bird feeders!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I have always preached at Madison since she could focus her eyeballs and sit up to treat all animals with respect and kindness. OMG I’d love to tie COAEW up and smear her with honey and let a wild bear get ahold of her stank ass.

    Chickie said:

    There’s no point in me saying anything. He KNOWS what I think about this kind of thing because we’ve talked about it. If I bring up this specific instance of bird killing, he’ll tell his mother and then the fucking cunt will call Sweety and be all crazy. And he’ll still be doing whatever she lets him do at her house. Or maybe I’d get lucky and she’d communicate directly with me and I’d have a stroke from fury.

    GAH!

    I think what disturbs me more is that he “eats what he kills.” Does she MAKE him eat it? Something just doesn’t seem right about it all.

    Doesn’t it frustrate you to know end when they are allowed to do something that the coaew’s house that you HATE, but you can’t do anything about it?

    Of course in my case, it’s her dragging them to church…..

    reply

    Chickie said:

    Oh, she drags them to church now too. Her new husband has turned her into a holy roller. WTFE. A holy roller with animal heads covering every open surface…

    I figure the trade of for getting to shoot something is that he has to eat it.

  10. As a bird lover, LB better watch out. The birds will come for him and they don’t maybe I will.
    He eats what he kills my hairy white ass.

    COAEW needs her coochie sewed shut and a 2 x 4 to the skull
    I am going to vomit now

    I’m sorry I made you puke.

    Um, if you ever wanna come to Florida…I’m sure I have a 2×4 laying around somewhere.

  11. It looks like a standoff to me. Considering your avitar is a chick holding a gun, it’s only a matter of time before you duel…..

    As for the “hunting,” it’s definitely a guy thing that most women don’t understand. I’m not big on hunting, myself, but I have been out before. Be glad that he is eating what he kills, because it gives it more meaning than hunting for “sport.” You might not agree with it, but it is a worthwhile skill to have (think “Red Dawn”). As detestable as you may find what he is doing, consider how humane the life and death of the beef, chicken, etc. in your freezer was.

    Its always difficult for religious people to wrap their head around the idea that people can have good morals merely from their own humanity and not our of a life of fearing a popular collection of fairy tales – the adult equivalent of believing in Santa Claus for the rest of your life.

    Chickie said:

    I really hope he is eating what he kills but I have my doubts. It’s not just the hunting that bugs me. It’s the general lack of safety that’s been displayed with other things at her house. I mean, the kid gets fucked up feet from being all over outside shoeless and burns his hand grabbing stuff out of a campfire but she swears that he’s “perfectly safe” with a bb gun?

    I just hope nobody loses an eye.
