I dont remember the age, but it was before Kindergarten, thought men came into the house at night to load the next days shows into the TV.

    Parents told me if I could get salt on a birds tail I’d be able to catch it.

    Pretty sure they told me that shit to at least increase the challenge of actually catching birds so I didn’t try to bring one in.

      Ayy shit, I come from a island hamlet where we catched live hares and sold them off. The islanders often told outsiders that “To catch a hare, one must sneak up behind it and stray some salt on its tail, after which one can simply grab it”.

      I guess it makes sense to see this joke in the wild, but it never occurred to me that we weren’t the only ones using it.

        Haha, wow. I was definitely from Arkansas so about as far from an island anyone is living on so yea it’s wild to think about how far it’s gone.
