According to legends, ostriches have a tendency to bury their heads in the sand as a way to avoid danger, but there is no scientific evidence to show that this is true. Some believe that the rumor that ostriches bury their heads in the sand comes from the fact that ostriches ingest sandand pebbles, which help them swallow their food; people may have noticed them picking up pebbles in their mouths and believed that the ostriches were burying their heads instead.

Today, people are often said to bury their heads in the sand when they refuse to confront or deal with a problem, and choose to deny it. The saying comes from the belief that ostriches bury their heads in the sand, which was first recorded by Roman writer Pliny the Elder. Now that we know ostriches do not actually bury their heads in the sand, perhaps the phrase should be corrected. Ostriches are not as stupid as people seem to think.

I'M HAVING ONE OF THESE MORNINGS!!!  

P.S.  BUT I'M STILL GRATEFUL TO HAVE THE CHANCE TO HAVE A MORNING WHEN I WOULD LIKE TO BURY MY HEAD IN THE SAND.  TODAY'S CRAZINESS WOULDN'T BE POSSIBLE IF I DIDN'T HAVE NATHAN AND ZACHARY.  :)
