My sweetie is training chickadees to eat out of his hand. Today a nuthatch picked sunflower seeds out of my open hand.
I had to brag that i was the first on the block to hand-feed a nuthatch.
What is it about being the first on the block to....?
It's fun to brag. I've had this experience, and you haven't. I've got this new toy, and you don't.
Bragging is a way to reify the self. For a moment, and it is only a moment, i feel better than, superior to that other person because.... I'm so special. For a second or two.
And then the nuthatch flies away.
