Dan heard it, too.
"What did you do to that extra rooster?" I asked--I knew, but--I didn't know. Rooster reduction is the man's job. The rooster left one day in a pillowcase in the backseat of Dan's car and didn't return. Call me Carmela.
"I took him to the 'farmer in Vermont,'" he said. (This is the expression we used to tell our daughter.)
"You sure you didn't just drop him in the woods?"
"No, I'm sure," he said. So the mystery continues.
More on the topic of roosters today from washingtonpost.com's Celebritologist, Liz Kelly:
Also, my favorite tidbit from today's Morning Mix was the fact that Matthew McConaughey has a brother named "Rooster." I mean, why don't we just go one step further there? Also -- David Sedaris fans might be interested to know that Sedaris also has a brother who goes by "Rooster" and one of his stories about The Rooster's relationship with their dad is one of the funniest things you'll ever read. I'm linking to it now here, but trusting that you'll hold off on reading it until after the discussion: You Can't Kill the Rooster (David Sedaris, 1998)Check it out. It's one of the funniest things I've read in a long time.
