Not Saying He Was An Alien, But… We’re Pretty Sure He Was An Alien

I was at my local discount store, just buying some discounts and other fun things, when I encountered someone who was absolutely transfixed on a bag of something he’d apparently never seen before. He looked at me, and with the strangest combination of confusion and delight, he hissed:

Customer: “What is this stuff?”

He was holding a bag of birdseed.

Me: “Birdseed.”

He looked confused.

Me: “Food for birds.”

He looked strangely excited about this information.

Customer: “It’s food?”

Me: “For birds, yes. I suppose you could eat it, but I’m not sure what you’d get from it…”

I paused and read the label to him, and before I could get through the list, he interrupted me to announce:

Customer: “I’m gonna eat it!”

He grabbed several bags off the shelf and hurried off excitedly. I hope he enjoys his weird dinner.
