Ok ok,
For months, I’ve woken up to a mysterious, intermittent banging sound coming from somewhere in my home. I can’t tell you how many mornings i have groggily walked around in my creased clothing searching for its cause.
Frustrated by my inability to locate the source of the banging, i falsely accused my newly bought fridge and began plotting a plan for its replacement. But then i caught a break. Rising earlier than usual one time, for reasons urinary, i stumbled across the real source of the strange noise – a small yellow necked, black breasted bird living in a tree just beneath my kitchen window.
Periodically he would fly to the kitchen window and peck furiously at it with his beak and then quickly retreat to a nearby branch. At first i assumed that the morning light caused him to see his reflection and, being of limited intelligence, and/ or filled with self-loathing, attack it. But once again, my initial instinct proved wrong. My windows were opaque.
After a long conversation with the bird however, i learned that he was banging on the window because he found the sound fascinating. I have since apologized to the fridge for a wrongful accusation, but it has been, not surprisingly, cool towards me.
Cheers.
ps: Sorry, that really wasn’t worth the journey.
