A childhood belief about birds

When I was little I thought that birds were the very essence of evil. I would scare them away when I saw them by saying " Fly away animals of the devil! " and, they would. So, I thought god had bestowed a magical power on me, and I needed to rid the Earth of all birds.., It was my destiny. So one day when I visited my friend, ( Who had a pet Bird, Arnold.) I screeched and said, don't move, ther's a demon in your house!" She stood still thinking i meant a real demon ( We were 4 ) and hid in a corner. I then opened the window, grabbed the bird and hurled it outside screaming my magical phrase. She started crying loudly. Her mom came in the room to ask why Olivia was crying. I said " don't worry Mrs. Anderson, those are the Happy tears, I saved her life and got the demons out of your house." I walked out with a smile on my face.


Olivia never spoke to me again.
