Cuteness and Happiness

Last night, my wife and I were watching "So You Think You Can Dance". The only real reason I can think of is that neither of us can dance, so we want to watch other people making a fool of themselves. While it was on, La Nina's eyes got real big and she jumped down in front of the TV and started trying to dance with the people auditioning on the show. It was one of the cutest things I think she has ever done. She was moving her arms, and kicking her feet up, and spinning around right with them. A couple of times I think she showed more promise than the contestants.

While I was doing dishes, I could hear a bird singing in the tree in our back yard. It sounded nice drifting through the window. My wife came over and said, "It's nice to hear a happy little bird in out tree." Now growing up in the country, I know that animals rarely do anything unless it helps to accomplish one of three things: Eat, Sleep, or Mate. Animals will hunt or forage for food, they will not sleep unless they feel safe, and they will try to procreate. That's it. The bird didn't need food, as we had a feeder full of it right there, and it didn't sound sleepy. That leaves one thing. I made mention of this to her, and she laughed, said I was projecting my own randiness on to the bird and went back to watch TV.

Maybe she was right, After all, I had just had dinner and wasn't feeling tired.

Later,
