The Bookish Girl

So bad things come in threes right?

#2 – Well, as I was pulling into my driveway this evening after work I ran over a baby bird.  Didn’t even see it until I got out of the car.  We are pretty sure it was alive before it met my tire.

I am going to hell.

    Not if you didn’t intend to run it over. Trust me on this, I was raised on Catholic guilt. And hell.

    Wendy, I’m afraid you will be sadly disappointed if you expect to get into Hell by accidentally killing a baby bird. You’ll really have to try much harder, say
    by robbing a convenience store, purposefully pushing down a series of little old ladies or becoming a pyromaniac. Personally, I don’t think you are up to the challenge..

    oh no! poor baby bird and poor you!

    you aren’t going to hell because you didn’t intend to run over it.

    and if it was in your driveway, it was probably not long for this world anyway and you probably saved it from becoming a cat toy.

    I ran over a squirrel once, too. It destroyed me for a week. If God sends pepople to Hell for doing things accidentally, then we’re all going. I’ll hold your hand there.

    Ack!
    I hit a cat once and I was totally undone.
    I stopped to see if it needed help and the man that had just chased it out of his yard – right in front of my car! – comforted me and took care of the cat’s remains.

    If this is something deserving of hell…I think it’s going to be mighty crowded down there!
