Honest and with a good punchline at the end. I like stories about wildlife. Thanks for sharing this.

You write vivid descriptions and a good twist. The character of the old man is described well, as is the setting.

You have some vivid metephores and the final sentence is certainly true.

Short though it is, a lot of people will relate to it.

I like the metephores of the heron and the airport terminal.

Good jokes and good imagery; keep it up.

You've done a good job of evoking the atmosphere in that kitchen. You used the crossings out well too.

You caught the voice of a grumpy old lady very well. I disagree with her sentiments, but there are people like that. I know you mean to be funny but good comedy is usually based on fact.
