And ya'll got new toys!

I was telling Sydney about how chicken feet have liters (sp?) inside which they pull to make their toes curl. I showed her in my wrist how when I make a fist my tendons in my wrist stick out, and that's what curls my fingers into a fist. Then the conversation went a little like this:

Shana: So you see this right here? Your muscles pull those and your fingers curl. That's how a chicken's feet do it, by pulling those "strings".
Sydney: (Checking her wrist) Mine hardly sticks out at all.
Shana: When WE were little, Paw Paw used to kill a chicken for us to eat you know...
Sydney: (interrupting without hesitation) AND YA'LL GOT NEW TOYS!

Hahahaha! That's exactly right! I loved playing with chicken feet tendons. Remember when PawPaw caught two chickens by the necks, spun them both around and the heads came off at the same time? Then they ran around in the yard for a LONG time? I just was excited that we would each get two feet, then yours had one tendon too short. -stacy

Hmm. Why do chickens still run around with broken necks when humans with broken necks are paralyzed?
