Seagulls. They’re cute. The way they step on the dirt, topi-topi,* simulating raindrops for the worms to pop out. Cute. But I used to hate them. HATE THEM with a passion. I would wash my car (Mitra, the Mini**) and the motherfraking*** seagulls would poop my car into a gooey white mountain.
After a few attempts at keeping Mitra in its glorious shiny electric blue, I noticed breadcrumbs… Breadcrumbs? BREADCRUMBS. Breadcrumbs were all over my car, on a few other cars, on the road and on the pavement.
It was my neighbour. She throws bread out of her window to feed the seagulls. Now I’m parking somewhere else.
*according to someone special, “topi-topi” is a Russian onomatopoeic way of describing the way toddlers walk. Are you picturing it? Yeah, cute topi-topi.
