Silver Tongue

smallestcitrus:

a small bird got loose in the store earlier and it was super freaking out about being inside. bonking into the lights on the ceiling, frantically squeaking, etc. so of course, i want to help this tiny critter, and the managers want it out, because we’re a grocery store and we cannot just Have A Bird.

what i MEANT to convey to my supervisor was “i raised chickens for ten years and also sometimes i catch feral pigeons in the park to de-string their feet and do first aid so if you need help catching this finch i can probably do it.”

what actually came out of my mouth was “i catch birds in my spare time.”

which was, judging by the look on his face, the most terrifying thing anyone has ever said to him.
