The Birds And The Bees Suddenly Makes No Sense

The TV is on in the background. It’s some nature documentary, and it’s showing bats looking after their babies, or pups.

Mom: “Wait, they skipped the egg part.”

Me: “What egg part?”

Mom: “They just went from the bats having no babies to having babies. When do we get to see the eggs?”

Me: “Bats don’t lay eggs, Mom. They’re not birds.”

Mom: “They got wings! They’re birds!”

Me: “Not everything with wings is a bird.”

Mom: “Yes, it is! If it’s got wings, it’s a bird. That’s the whole point of being a bird.”

Dad: “Hmm, then I’d better update my doctor to let him know I’m allergic to bird stings…”

Me: “Oh no! There’s a bird in my soup!”

Mom: “…Shut up!”
