My sister brought our bird Joey a sunflower head to eat the seeds. Being a bird, Joey is trepidatious of new things.

Spike: I just want you to hold the sunflower up to him, Dad, so he can see it and chew it!
Dad: He's a bird! Just leave it up on his house, he'll get to it eventually!
Spike: But what if he never goes to it?
Dad: He will. If it has value, he'll go to it!
My sister and I look at each other.
Spike: That was a weird phrase.
Dad: No it wasn't! What was weird about it? 
Spike: "If it has value, he'll go to it?" What is this, an estate sale? Is he a quality barometer? Should we take Joey to the thrift store and he'll sniff out the good clothes? 
All: *crack up*
Me: I'm blogging this.
