Foodshaming still happens, but I never thought it happen in my own house.
As I woke up this morning I decided to start my day with fruit. A huge juicy watermelon was waiting for me. As I realized I was home alone, I decided to go for it and devour that melon. No neat cutting it into pieces. No, no. Just put my face in it and started munching like I hadn’t eaten for weeks.
In the midst of this energy consuming eating process, I hear a ‘peep’ sound and look up to find my bird sitting on the door close to me looking at me in a strange posture. Her head was all lopsided and thin and then she twisted her beak down with that look in her eyes. That familiar look. If she could speak, she would have said: “Seriously? So? You’re seriously eating like that?! Have you no shame?”
And I would reply: ‘Noooooow, guess not” And then put myself in the corner to shamefully think about my non-lady like actions.
Is this her response to all to times I made fun of the way she eats. Like some sort of revenge. Surely there had to be a better solution to this and finally decided to let Sunny have a neatly cut piece of my melon. She wanted nothing to do with it. Crazy bird.Foodshaming still happens, but I never thought it happen in my own house.
