“Little Chicken”

I don’t know why Toadie titled this picture of her and Mimi “little chicken”. I assume that she can tell the difference between a chicken and a duck, so I’m thinking it must be the duck’s name. I say that because I can’t tell the difference between a duck and a goose, but that’s excusable I figure. Either that or it’s a hideously deformed chicken.

You know, when I first started getting pierced and tattooed, it was very uncommon to meet parents and soon-to-be parents that were modified… These days though, as this community ages and grows, it seems more and more normal, to the point where it no longer seems even the slightest bit odd to see a heavily tattooed or otherwise augmented parent — in this case, Lonchura. I wonder how we’ll respond to our kids that rebel against us by trying to act ultra-normal?

PS. It’s her birthday on Sunday too if you want an excuse to say hello.
