I hope the horrifying rendition of the birds & bees talk I just gave @danaROrana is enough to scare her away from boys, storks, & hospitals. #
It was: the bee grabs some pollen, flies over a river, gets eaten by a fish, which gets eaten by a stork. The stork can't digest the pollen- #
–so the stork tries to vomit, but can't, because the frothing mass of pollen and half-digested fish is too dense and clogs its esophagus– #
-so it flails about the marsh, seeking death, never finding it. It hears a faint whistling that speaks to its soul on an evolutionary level- #
-the stork follows the whistling to find a woman, her belly button a tiny whistling mouth. The whistling is the perfect pitch– #
-that loosens the gullet of the bird. The uterus of the girl crawls out of her belly button like a feeding starfish and devours the stork– #
-it feeds on the pollen, slowly digesting it over a nine month period. When the uterus is done, it poops out what is left. #
You are, therefore, the death of a honeybee, a fish, a stork, and a rumbling dream. Happy birthday, kid. #
