@SMickey,
Funny story about "a little bird"
When I was little, maybe 4 years old, I was sitting on a bench with some other adults. I said "I wish I had some ice cream"
Maybe a half hour later, my mother showed up with an ice cream cone for me.
I was amazed! How in the world did she know I wanted ice cream?
When I asked her, she just said "oh, a little bird told me"
For a long time I thought there was a bird that could speak, that knew my mother and went to tell her....
