Finding Awesome #1: The Gigi Bird Song
The BeF.A.T. (Be F-g Awesome Today!) Lifestyle is all about finding the awesome in every day…
My grandbabies call me Gigi. So sweet.
Until I looked up the meaning of Gigi and found this definition in the Urban Dictionary:
Gigi: The best woman you will ever meet in your life and regret losing when she leaves you. If you leave her you will never forget her and always wish you were back with her. She is too cool for all the fools. A Gigi is hot and finer than any other and she doesn’t even care because she doesn’t need to rely on her looks to get by in life even though she could if she wanted to.
I have no idea what scorned woman wrote (and submitted) this but I think it’s Awesome.
To further my lofty grandmotherly status among children under five years old, there is a bird outside my house that sings my name. The kids picked up on this one. “Gigi, Gigi, Gigi” the bird screeches, over and over from early morning until dusk.
It was cute, at first. Now that the adults are aware of the bird and its song, it’s rather annoying. To an insane level. But not to the little kids.
“Gigi!! Your bird is singing your name!” and they call back to the bird: “Gigi, Gigi.” Over and over.
The day will come when the grandbabies are too cool for this Gigi bird. And it singing my name no longer gets them all charged up.
But today, this Gigi bird finds their excitement: Awesome.
[NOTE: We’ve investigated (thank you internet) the sounds of sparrows, wrens, goldfinches, swallows, mockingbirds, bluejays, cardinals and warblers and haven’t found the Gigi bird. If you know the name of a New England bird with a call or song that sounds like “Gee-Gee” help us solve the mystery. Thanks.]BE F-G AWESOME TODAY!
