When I was four, one morning I got up and declared to my family that I was going to be a bird that day. I kept it up all morning, chirping and such. I think I avoided talking even. I hopped down the hill with Mom to pick up my older sister from school at lunchtime. Then came the BIG DEAL. My mother tried to feed me worms for lunch, which was actually spaghetti. I freaked out, threw the spaghetti on the floor and wailed for a long time. I couldn't eat spaghetti again until about grade three.
