Nervous father goes off on Mockingbird tangent during birds and bees talk

AUSTIN – While trying to explain the intricacies of sexual intercourse to his 12-year-old son, local father Greg Stanton became distressed and digressed into an ornithological discussion about the behaviors and mannerisms of the Mockingbird. “When a man and a woman are in love, sometimes they take off all of their clothes and when the man is ready he puts his...binoculars up to his eyes and looks and beholds a Mockingbird!” said Stanton. “Mocking Birds have a strong preference for maple trees and a sweet song.” Added Stanton, “Yep, maple trees.” As of press time, Stanton had approached his son again to talk about sexual interactions, but immediately digressed into a conversation on the co-evolution of humming birds with ornithophilous flowers.
