due to unforeseen circumstances, i had to take the scenic route home from ky's school yesterday.
after waiting for enough of them to moved past my door, so i attempted to get out to shoo the rest away. this feat took several minutes, and i had to push a couple of them because apparently, people and running cars are no match to a turkey.
as i was finally clear, and back in my car, a truck passed us and was sure to laugh at the mayhem. damn poultry.
in the distance, i could see something in the road.i stopped and waited for it to cross. i waited. more things crossed. i waited. i scooted the car up and lo and behold- it's an entire rafter of wild turkey hens. 
now, i've heard that turkeys are stupid, but let me tell you: turkeys are really stupid. they were bumping into my car (i was parked) and gobbling so loud that the kids could hear them over the heater/radio/etc. so we sat for about two minutes thinking that they would continue on their way, but no. they were going under the car. no seriously: they decided to sit under my running car!

Meagan, I love reading your posts, you crack me up! Thanks for the chuckle this morning...
ha ha ha... yes, I too have encountered the stupid wild turkeys of Macomb County.
Before they built your house and there was an open field, those stupid turkeys used to roam around this neighborhood.
I can't believe that those turkeys just decided to stay there and sit under your car crazy birds.
