I just made the mistake of sneezing in my bedroom.  The birds now know that I’m awake, and Morning Scream Fest has begun.

Morning Scream Fest usually starts between 7 and 8am at my house.  Today at 7:35, I realized it had been awfully quiet.  Had I just been so quiet working at my computer that the birds didn’t realize I was awake?  So I performed an experiment.  Out of nowhere, I started yelling, “BIRDS!  BIRDS!  BIRDS!”  And then I yelled their names.

And I was met with ABSOLUTE SILENCE from the birds.

Then I ran down to check on them because I was like “they’re not screaming, wtf are they okay???” and I started to get worried.  But they were totally fine and awake.  Just confused.  Apparently birds don’t know what to do if you scream in the morning before they do.

But then I realized the horrible truth.

I had become one of them.

I am one of them now.

I scream.
