The other day Nate comes in from outside all upset saying one of our chickens had died. I started asking him questions and he tells me that he was down checking on the chickens when the "little white chicken" started choking!!! He said it was choking and choking and choking and finally it fell over and died. I then asked him where the chicken was and he proceeded to tell me that he buried it in the creek. When Tim got home from practice I told him about the chicken and he went to check it out. In the mean time Nate was sitting at the dinner table getting ready to eat when JT came in and started asking Nate-dawg how he was doing. Nate starts crying and yells out "I KILLED A CHICKEN"!!!!!
Well to make a long story short he totally came clean with the "little white chicken" story to his big brother. He tells JT that he went down to check on them and he had these marbles in his pocket from a game that he got for his birthday the night before. He told JT that he fed it a marble and it started choking and he didn't know what to do!!!! He said he didn't know how to help it and that it fell over and died!!!! Poor chicken!!! Nate cried and cried and cried, he actually cried most of the night and when I tucked him into bed he still was crying!!!
I am just grateful that he feels like he can tell his big brother anything - even the TRUTH!!!

Thats so funny... and sweet too! Poor Nate :(
Poor Nate. That is so sad. I think it is so cute that the came clean to his big brother.
That has to be the funniest thing I have heard in a while. I can imagine the terror he felt when he figured out he had killed the poor chicken and what he was going to do about it. I am so glad no one in my house tells white lies!! ;) Miss you guys, see you at Thanksgiving I hope
