The Object:
The Origin: Gift from Mother – most likely from World Market, as that was the scene of the original Rooster Encounter (as detailed below).
The Backstory: It was a random Saturday. I was home from college and out shopping with my mother. World Market was new to our area, so it was heavily frequented.
While my mom was looking through jewelry, I wandered elsewhere and found this fantastic wooden rooster. The creature was at least a foot tall and had articulated joints so you could make him sit with his little legs dangling off the edge of a shelf. I brought him back to show Mother Dearest, who was notably less impressed.
I made it my mission to show her his awesomeness.
Throughout the rest of our shopping trip, I kept sneaking Wooden Rooster into her line of sight. He’d be riding in her shopping basket, sitting on the shelf near the tea she likes, reclining on a decorative pillow. As I tried to make him more appealing, his antics got more goofy. (Yes, I realize the entire “a wooden rooster is following you around World Market” premise is goofy to start – that’s just how my mom and I get sometimes when our blood sugar is low. This event likely took place right before lunch).
Mr. Wooden Rooster failed to impress Mother. I believe her exact words were “I don’t want that damn rooster! Get him out of here!”
Even though we left the store without Wooden Rooster, his antics had become the stuff of legend. For the birthday immediately following this adventure at World Market, Sitting Chicken made his debut. While he is not as epic as Wooden Rooster, he makes me smile. I love that my mother and I can be such goofs together and crack each other up. Wooden Rooster, wherever you now reside, you made quite the lasting impact.
