Sometimes someone just has an off day. They may be extra irritable or emotional or just not feel quite right and happy. Well, there was one Saturday when everyone in the Murray house was a little off. Your dad was stressed with school work. Your mom was overwhelmed with chores. You were teething as always. All three of you could have used a good nap.
But then your mom just couldn't handle being stuck inside, so she packed you up to just get out of the house for a bit to relax and so your dad could work.
Just as you were both getting in the car, mom's friend Jamey called to tell her about a bird exhibit at the Seiberling Nature Realm in Akron. Well, you know your moms love for birds, so she immediately got excited, and the two of you headed there.
And it was just the distraction that everyone needed that day. Dad was getting stuff done, you enjoyed just walking around, and your mom loved seeing the birds of prey up close. Soon the very rough day wasn't so bad after all.
