Nesting in a Skate

Once upon a time, there were two love birds eager to find the perfect home to raise their babies. The female gave strict orders to the male to go find a safe, warm, and protected location. After much searching, the male returned and said, "Follow me, my dear, for I have found the most perfect spot to start our family." Doors seemed to open for them (especially garage doors) and they began collecting and depositing the raw materials at the nesting spot.

A terrible destructive force came and took everything they had gathered away. The two love birds have a heart to heart conversation. "This is why I do things myself," the female bird exclaims. The male bird understands his mate is just uncomfortable carrying around the extra weight of the eggs and he just listens humbly to her complaints. They set out to find a new nesting spot and work extra hard to make up for lost time. The efforts produce a wonderful new nest worthy of housing the finest eggs...

...feel free to put your own conclusion to this story

How in the world did you manage to observe this?! Were you waiting in your garage for the birds?? Your story is very cute... ;) Linds, do you have roller blades? I have mine, but haven't used them in so long. They were my favorite thing to do for such a long time...but now I am afraid that my super safe Rob would make me wear a helmet!
