Little Fayoumis notes

[azurelunatic]

Picked him up from school this morning. He was chattering happily about Molar Man, and special Molar Man toothbrush cars, and good guy snacks and bad guy snacks.

We finally got the pants back to the nurse's office. The nurse wondered if there'd been underwear to go with the pants. No, these had been mud pants.

I feel terribly silly asking this, having read your journal for awhile now, and suspecting that you have already explained it, but what is the meaning of the term "fayoumis"?

Thankee?

An Egyptian Fayoumis, or fayoumis for short, is a certain kind of chicken. Like that one in my user icon.

votania calls them chaos chickens, because they have a habit of standing perfectly still, almost frozen, and then they can explode in a flurry of claws and wings, in any direction.

Mama and Narcissa and I started the habit of classifying our schoolmates as either Good Little Fayoumi or Bad Little Fayoumi.

Somehow, the local kid became tagged as "Little Fayoumis", instead of Nephew.


I've got another fayoumis usericon: the one with me at nine or so in pink shorts on that gawdawful orange couch with something on my foot. That was my best friend Calico.

Ohhhh!!! That all makes so much more sense now. Thank you so much!

You're welcome.

Feel free to ask questions like that. Probably there are other people who didn't ask as well...
