One day not too long ago, the kids and I went to Sonic. It was a million degrees outside so we decided to eat in the car. Not long after our food arrived, this bird landed on my side view mirror. She sat there the whole time, watching me eat, with her beak wide open. I held up a tator tot and moved it from side to side. Her head followed the tator tot from side to side. She wanted my food. It creeped me out because I was afraid she was going to try to fly into the car to get the food. She would, of course, hit the window because I'm not stupid enough to have the window down. I am, however, stupid enough to taunt the bird with tator tots.
