In a delightful turn of events, a young girl from Houston has become an unexpected internet sensation after a series of comical photos featuring her little sister being pursued by a goose went viral. It seems that geese aren’t the most friendly creatures, and this incident has only solidified that reputation.
As reported by Buzzfeed, 5-year-old Lily Thompson, along with her 17-year-old sister Jessica and their siblings, were simply enjoying a sunny day when they came across some baby geese in their neighborhood. Jessica noted that they ventured a bit too close to the protective Mama Goose, who unleashed her fierce instincts on the youngest sibling, Lily, who couldn’t escape her grasp in time.
One onlooker, rather than intervening, decided to capture the moment on camera, which, let’s be honest, was quite entertaining. Jessica shared the images on Twitter, and they quickly took off, racking up over 50,000 retweets. Despite the mislabeling of the goose as a duck (which the internet was all too quick to point out), people couldn’t help but laugh at the situation.
While many were concerned for Lily, it was later clarified that someone was indeed helping her while others were capturing the moment for posterity. Thankfully, Lily came out of the ordeal unscathed and is reveling in her newfound internet fame. “She thinks it’s hilarious that her post is going viral,” Jessica said, adding that it’s been the highlight of Lily’s day.
Of course, we can all chuckle now since Lily is perfectly fine. Had the situation taken a turn for the worse, we might not be enjoying these amusing photos. Living in a place where geese are notorious for their territorial behavior, I can certainly relate to Lily’s experience.
Just the other day, as I was jogging in a park surrounded by these feathered fiends, I had my own run-in with a particularly aggressive goose. I was pushing my son in a jogging stroller when, out of nowhere, a giant goose charged at us, hissing and flapping its wings. I quickly realized that my child’s giggles were not going to dissuade the angry bird. We managed to escape, but not before I vowed to keep a safe distance from geese in the future.
I feel for you, Lily. My kids and I have learned to steer clear of these wild creatures. But if one of my kids ever finds themselves in a similar predicament, you can bet I’ll be tweeting about it!
