Chicken Exposed

Ok. There previous was meant to direct ya to a most funny blog and I never thought that some would ask why I don't get near the "bird" so I shall explain.

Please don't tell me I am superstitious or that it is silly. It is a personal thing and I just feel that I sleep better at night not touching the stuff.

As you recall, My sister Lisa was murdered in May of 96 it was at 7am in the morning. Well, the neighborhood is small and word got out fast and people started showing up at the house early. My brother and I were sitting at the table and I told him that "This means people will bring food such as Chicken to the house"
I know people do this as a comfort to the family in mourning but, no sooner had I got the words out of my mouth the doorbell rings and it is the neighbor with CHICKEN.

It was almost like it made it real at that point. WE were the mourning family in need of comfort. It was just to real.

I have not ate chicken knowingly since that day.

I was at El Chico a few years later and the waiter brought me the wrong food and I took a bite and it was CHICKEN! I spit it out and later that night my dog died.

A co-worker made fun of me about all this and after she went and got chicken and ate it at my desk making fun of me the whole time.. Her Aunt died that afternoon.

The day my Father died my husband was cooking chicken in the house.
(I had asked him not to cook it in the house and that day I told him to go ahead)

Now, I know you are thinking this is silly but, I dearly love those in my life and I refuse to touch the stuff. and there is nothing worse than when someone thinks it's funny to trick me and sneak things like chicken broth in my food.

So there ya go. the whole not eating chicken story
