Summer school training conversation.

Parapro who had been talking WAY-HAY-HAY too much today: "We let my son have this pet chicken. It's so cute! It lives in a tub in his bedroom and in the morning it jumps up on the edge and just sits there. It's the cutest thing. Except he's handicapped- his little feet just curl under and he has to walk funny. But he waddles over to my son in the morning and pecks his cheek just like this (demonstrates the so-called cheek pecking)."

Me: "Oh yeah... hmm... yeah. I had a pet chicken once that had feet like that. We had to put it down. It's a common chicken disease."

Parapro: "Oh."

I did have a chicken that had to be put down with chicken-curl-up-feet disease. And that para was just talking too damn much.
