Chicken Baby

Raw roast chickens make me think of babies.
That is weird, I'm sure, but every time I cook a whole chicken I can't help but imagine that I'm rinsing off, patting dry and seasoning a small child.
Chickens just have little arms and legs, and are the same color as small pink people.

I'm not creepy or hungry for children either. I can't help it!


So yesterday I was rinsing this chicken off under the faucet and holding it's slippery body the same way I might if I were rinsing off a child and I was thinking how heavy the chicken was.
I thought to myself "This is good practice for bathing a baby in the sink," and then I checked to see how heavy my little chicken was.

3.18 lbs.

Which means, he's already smaller than my babies.
Since they're about 2 lbs each. So total chicken weight is about 3/4 of my total baby weight (not including all the weight that isn't actual baby fat).

Next time you see or eat a chicken, please think about how big the babies in my stomach are.
They are very big.


Is this blog post creepy?
