The Ouija told her she had been "a boy," and then "lots and lots of rabbis," and then "a bird," and "a hat." But the board kept fluttering its answer between bird and hat. So, she and her friends decided that the board meant that she had been a stuffed bird "living" on someone's hat. That will give us all pause for thought the next time we are shopping for bird hats at the second hand shop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-32368480168151083982012-04-07T20:19:15.992-04:002012-04-07T20:19:15.992-04:00I like birds but I don't like feathers.. that ...I like birds but I don't like feathers.. that boa would have freaked me the hell out!<br />What nice pressies!...<br /><br />...except for the boa...Alittlespritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16993327218382325674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-9379290327346925692012-04-07T18:32:10.937-04:002012-04-07T18:32:10.937-04:00Karen love for birds?
