The Ravens Roost

So, you all know that Lee is a Ravens fan and I'm a Steelers fan. Because I'm a sweet and loving girlfriend, I let him get away with making our van look like this:

Purple Bird Decor

Actually, it has nothing to do with being sweet. It's a trade-off for him helping me decorate our spare room in high Steelers fashion.

Anyway, he was outside doing yardwork today, and I was indoors throwing some lunch together and brought some out to him. He pointed out a little starling sitting on top of the van, and we joked about how odd it would be if it was a raven sitting there instead.

Later, we went shopping. When we came out of the store to the parking lot, two women were standing there looking at our van. They told us that a raven had been sitting there, and that he hadn't wanted to move! He sat there looking at them even when they got close.

"We saw your flags and wondered if he was another decoration at first," they said. "And then when he moved a little, we thought maybe he was your pet!"

I assured them that since one of us was a Steelers fan, we couldn't have a pet Purple Bird.

This made Lee VERY happy. He's taking it as a sign about tomorrow's Ravens game.

I'm not sure I'd do that if I was him. The Raven left a big bird turd right on the roof of our van.
