The Baby Pigeon

A baby pigeon and his mother were going to fly south for the winter. Trying all types of logic, the mother pigeon was having a difficult time convincing her new baby that he too could fly.

The baby pigeon cried, "I can't make it ... I get too tired."

His mother replied, "Don't worry. I'll tie a piece of string to one of your legs and the other end to mine."

The baby began to cry.

"What's wrong?", said the mother.

The baby said, "I don't want to be pigeon towed!"
