Cardinal

In the Kid's Say the Darndest Things category...

The other day a beautiful bird was perched on the wall in our front yard.

I told my kids, "Look at the gorgeous red bird. What kind do you think it is?"

My 5 year-old son, who happens to be a baseball fanatic (and a budding ornithologist?), said
with authority, "I think it's a Cardinal."

Then he looked more closely. "Or maybe a Red Sox."
