    There were a bunch of geese around my grandparents’ house when I was a kid. God those things would torment me. They had free range of the property and I tended to completely avoid the area they hung out because they were hyper aggressive and would chase after me every time I got anywhere near them. I was six years old, so it felt like they were as tall as me and they were definitely faster.

    It wasn’t so bad once I got a little older, a little taller, and relied more on my bicycle than my feet for movement.

    Nonetheless, those things gave me childhood trauma to the extent that I still can’t stand geese some forty five years later.

      If they’re not tormenting you, they’re not doing their job. That’s their niche. They have one job.
