"Feed the Birds - Tuppence a Bag"

My brother Joseph: "Keen, are you blogging about how you suck at feeding the bird?"

Me: "Yes Joseph."

Mom: "She's blogging about how she keeps me young by giving me extra work to do."

THE SCREENPLAY:

18.45: Mom asks me to feed the family bird who is starving. 

18.46  Bird: "I'm starving."



KIDDING. This is our bird: 

BIRD: "Yo. It's feeding time. You know what to do". ... (Or do I)

THE PLOT THICKENS


18.48 Dutiful daughter goes to get bird food, opens a new bag - and then this happens:
18.51: Typical.
18.52: Let's get a close up of that. This is abstract art baby. ABSTRACT.

18.54: Then I move the bag to try and catch the seeds, and this happens.. PERFORMANCE ART BABY!
18.55: Mom steps in to try and clean up the mess. Because I'm 12.
19.00: I've moved on. 
Mom isn't even mad - she's DISAPPOINTED.
And even worse - the seeds got stuck in the sifter and now she's trying to unblock it with a knife.
It's 19.04.
