Don't you dare crunch

that chip, Mark!
It will scare the cardinals
away and then I'll have
to lure them back again.

Jen, when is this bird
obsession going to end?
You get weirder everyday.

I do not!
Ben, what do you think?

You are weird mom,
dad's right.

Fine. Everyone be quiet
so I can watch the birds
in peace. Silence.

Crunch!!!
