The Peacock

My entire world was shattered today when I found out that the bird that I’ve always known as a peacock is not in fact a peacock.  It’s actually called a peafowl.  The peacock and peahen are the male and female specimens of the peafowl, respectively.  I’m blown away by this revelation.  I feel as if my entire life has been a lie.  And it took my sister to reveal it to me...also a disturbing fact considering that she will now hang it over my head that she was right, and I was wrong.  When I really think about it, perhaps this is actually what I’m upset about after all!
