Critter Confession 2
Here at the Pond, we have lots of creatures–real, imaginary, stuffed, statue-like, flying, crawling…you get the idea. And sometimes, our creatures get the urge to purse their souls. They wish to empty their closets of skeletons, unlock secrets from their souls and bare all.
And now is one of those times.
So for the second time ever, Invisible Friends, we have a critter confession….from the Mrs. Frizzle the Chicken.
Hello, Invisible Friends.
As every lady knows, sometimes we have a few little secrets under our bonnet.
A few things that are best left buried in a drawer full of our most ratty underthings.
Confessions that belong in a grave ten feet underground.
And I have one for you today.
A doozy of a tale.
My feathers are burning just thinking of it.
But I confess: I was a show chicken.
That’s right, I’ve said it! I was a show chicken!
I shook and wiggled my feathers for countless judges in countless barnyards. I strutted across stages, pranced across pavilions and posed for pictures with everything from a goat to a duck.
I suppose you could say I was blinded by the glory of it all. The ribbons and the trophies blinded me. Every time I won, I wanted more. As a famous chicken, there was nothing I was denied–the best feed, the most comfortable roost money could buy and limo rides between barns. I even had my own fan club–the Featherheads!
But it all slipped away the second my feathers began to turn grey. And I must admit–I didn’t react well at all.
Now, I know what’s important in life. My chick and I have a fine time, and I focus on my family and friends instead of myself.
Don’t judge me.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! We have a week full of whimsical fun coming up! We’ve got a new Twirl, Coconut Queen and Gift along with new recipes, a new Creative Woman of the Pond and more whimsical fun! Stay tuned!

Not a show chicken…..please say it isn’t so!

I am going to have to judge. That whole resolution thing.

GASP!
A show chicken?!
Well, I’m not sure how I’ll ever look at Mrs. Frizzle the Chicken the same!
Do you want to know a funny story? One day the King and I were in Wal-mart in the pet aisle. I was looking at these dogs treats and I thought they said “bastard chicken” (instead of basted chicken) and I turned to the King and said, “How do you think they know if they’re bastard chickens?” Then the King informed that it was basted chickens, not basterd chickens.
Anyway, so I always think BASTARD CHICKENS whenever I read anything about chickens. . .
Yes! Go see Up! It’s fantastic! I know it’s from Disney, but the message behind it is really more for adults!

I always knew that chicken had a past.

Mrs. Frizzle, we always knew we were amongst esteemed company, and the blue ribbon is merely the icing on the prestigious cake.
