A not entirely atypical conversation at the Weaselden.

Context: There was a nature show about hummingbirds I wanted to see Sunday night but forgot. I mentioned this to Shawn before we went to sleep.

This morning:

S: I had a dream about a hummingbird last night!

L: Oh yeah?

S: Yeah! It had a special power that it could instantly make a giant ice sculpture of itself, like as big as a house, and crush anybody it wanted to! And it would get so excited about the sculpture that it would make another one, and so on! The only way to stop it was to take it someplace it couldn't see the ice sculptures anymore!

L: ... Hon, you're the only person I know who would dream of weaponizing hummingbirds.

But it is certainly a different point of view!

Well, since I missed the show Sunday night, I cannot say with absolute certainty that hummingbirds *can't* instantaneously summon giant ice sculptures to defend themselves. Nobody would be expecting it!

Ice is like that: It spreads. And when it's also a grumpy-ass hummingbird... well, watch out world.

Grumpy-ass hummingbird... is there any other kind, really?
