pelicans

yesterday we were all standing on the dock of the ft. meyer's beach in florida and there was this real snotty kid who kept complaining about the pelicans while he was fishin with his dad
"get away...."
"eeeeehhhhh..... pelicans"
you know one of those kids that if you we his age yould probably wanna throw dodge balls at cause he was always complaining and then always showing you the cool crap his parents bought him at hockey games and stuff
"get away..."
....like he has to sneeze any minute, gross little kid voice...
"GET! AWAY"
then all the sudden the kid catches something, but he cant reel it in, so the dads tryin to help him and ends up just grabing the line with his hands and pulling it up by hand.
..the kids gettin really excited...
and then one of the pelicans (probably over half the size of the kid) comes flappin from like ten feet behind and lands on the kid's head and then shoots off towards the dad after knockin the kid's hat bill into his nose, and gets the fish without the hook and gives us all a show as he easily lets the thing turn around in his neck as he swallows it hole.

it was glorious!

and the kids all "Ouch!"
and the other tourists are yellin "you gotta learn ya lesson huh" while eyeballing the pelican

i say the pelicans won, and snotty kids and snotty tourists need more eplicans boppin them on the head.
