Twitterpated
Have you ever watched the movie Bambi? I like the movie very much. It amuses me (a little less than it used to because I’ve seen it in Dutch WAY TOO MANY TIMES in the last six months). There are two sections of this movie that I enjoy watching. The first is when Bambi is little and he ends up on the ice of a pond. It’s so funny and cute the way he slips and slides all over the place! It’ cracks me up!
The second most amusing part is when spring comes and Bambi is a “young adult”. All of the animals are acting crazy singing and dancing with one another. The birds are most noticeable. Bambi and his guy friends ask Owl what the heck is wrong with the animals and Owl explains that they are twitterpated. He goes on to explain that when the spring comes all of the animals become twitterpated. He continues to explain the syndromes. He says that first you’re innocently walking along through the woods when, suddenly, out of nowhere you see a pretty pair of eyes batting their lashes at you. The next thing you know, you feel like you are spinning in circles wildly about, then your head spins in circles! Then it’s as if you’re walking on air! He made it sound very dramatic, so much so that when he said it would happen to the young fellows that he was counseling that they became determined to not become twitterpated. Of course, within five minutes they were twitterpated because whenever a being determines not to become twitterpated it’s at that moment that they have some of the largest struggles with twitterpation that can be experienced.
Yesterday I was walking along innocently when I saw a prime example of twitterpation. No! I did not become twitterpated myself!! Actually, my prime example was in a few ducks that were walking on the ice of the canal. It was the funniest thing!
There were a bunch of ducks standing on the ice of the canal. There were four or five males and one female. You can imagine what will happen with five males ducks, one female duck, and spring. They began to fight over the girl! There was one guy that had a pretty good claim on her. He was fighting all of the other guys off. Of course, when ducks fight they also have to fly a bit. So, there they were. There were four guys going after the girl and the fifth was protecting her, heroically. He did a beautiful job. A guy would come, and the Hero would chase the guy off. Then, suddenly, he nearly got a hold of one of the ducks. In order to protect himself from Mr. Hero, Mr. Loser had to fly away. So he flew!! And then he tried to land again…on the ice. He spread out his wings, prepared to land, touched down, and then fell down. Of course, when you land suddenly on ice from a slightly horizontal momentum you’re bound to keep sliding, and slide he did…right into the bank of the canal. Of course, I stood there and laughed out loud. And then I continued on my way, thankful that I wasn’t that silly duck. I do hope that if I ever come to a twitterpated stage in life that I have the sense to remain sensible, unlike the silly duck!

In all likelihood you will not be like this duck you described. You will be like the female duck. So when it happens that those males around you get twiterpated. Keep your footing on that ice and ill hope they hit the bank. Of course more so if there a different breed(Cor 6:14-18)
