Oy, You Cock, Get Off My Fuckin Worm!
Darwin had a 'run in' with a chicken last week at nursery which made everyone laugh. The nursery is a great place and they have a fantastic ethos of ensuring the kids get as much outdoor activity as possible. They have a wooded area where chickens roam and they encourage the kids to explore and involve themselves with the flora and fauna as much as possible. Consequently it's very rare that Darwin comes home in the same clothes he went to nursery in.
Darwin is also in a phase where occasionally he isn't keen to share, and consequently if another child (or chicken!) takes what he thinks is his he will shout "MINE". Last week Darwin found a worm in the woods and was gently stroking it when a chicken confronted him and subsequently ate the worm. This did not please him (Darwin, not the chicken, who I assume would have been pleased. Although if the chicken was a male he would have been a cock, and at this moment in time I think Darwin thought the chicken was a cock (not a male chicken!)). Darwin shouted right into the chickens face, "NO, CHICKEN. THAT'S MY WORM" and pursued it in a fashion that Rocky Balboa would have been proud of.
