On Tuesday, for the second time in 6 months, I had to not only watch, but clench CheezWaster with all my might while he had stitches removed.  The entire experience was exhausting for him and even though the doctor says he’s not hurting him while removing the stitches, his ear piercing screams would have suggested otherwise.  But, just hours later, he was not only running around like his typical maniac self, but telling people all about his peacock attack with such animation.  There was arm flailing, sound effects, theatricals and all.  It left me in stitches!

Since the “peacock incident”, I’ve been researching peacocks on the internet.  I’ve discovered 2 things – 1) The female is called the peahen.  The male is called the pea’cock’ – now maybe it is because of genitalia, but I think otherwise and 2) pea’cock’s are cocks!!! – recently some other small boy was the victim of an attack at the Oregon Zoo.  Cage the COCKS, I say!!!
