My kids love The Pigeon and other Mo Willems’ books.

The Pigeon has a special personality which is why I was glad to find that he has a twitter account called @The_Pigeon.

The Pigeon is a very clever creature. He does a “Photo Phriday” tweet every Friday. He also has a different way of thinking about things so I compiled a list of 22 of my favorite Pigeon tweets over the last year for your enjoyment.

And by the way, I keep saying “he” because I verified that The Pigeon is a male here.

Whenever I go to a sporting event I like to support my team by chanting, “We’re hashtag one!” repeatedly.

Reasons I will NOT be joining the @cavs: 1. I have no idea what that means. 2. See 1.

Marine Biologists are impressive. You’ve got to respect someone who can be a full time soldier and working scientist at the same time.
