Lost in translation

I should have known there was more to my mom saying that flying was for the birds. Apparently there was a stranger near her fluffing her hair and inadvertantly also fluffing my mom's hair in the process (difficult to picture, I know). Upon her arrival here and in telling this story, she told me that saying flying was for the birds was to indicate that someone had fluffed her hair.

I happened to be standing near where she was seated, and while demonstrating the offensive hair fluffing I noticed a seed flopping around on top of her head. I picked it off and handed it to her.

Later, I found it on top of the mail.
