Someone here said Dad might be wife beater. Maybe the blood stained roof is a metaphor for the violence that happened under that roof? Dunno
lowreroll
So, why not slaughter some more geese and cover the whole roof and just have a red roof...? problem solved? except for the slaughtered geese
AbsolutelyZeroFucksGiven
And that's where the common phrase "Suicidal geese gonna stain my roof with blood forever" comes from. Fun facts. Now you know.

Nothing on why the geese fell out of the sky?
CalvinandHobbitses
On a moonlit night water birds can mistake roofs for water. Happened a lot when I was a kid, but they never died.

The real question.

The dad respected the kids for standing up to him, but wanted to teach them that choices have consequences when defying authority.
FallingStar7669
If authority is wrong, it is morally right to defy it. Dad was being obstinate, stubborn, and impractical.
nickyt2406
Or he didnt want dead, diseased geese rottin in his yard. They randomly fell outta the sky so they mustve been sick. Dad didnt want em round
FallingStar7669
Which is why the boys buried the geese in the woods, not in the yard. And made a point to dig the deepest grave possible.
CalvinandHobbitses
They probs mistook the roof for water on a moonlit night. I've had it happen at my house before.

Now THIS is true horror; Incomprehensible, ominous, subtle, with a lingering dread.

Lies. Lies follow ya till the day you die if you keep them. I learned that quick when I was about 12 and quite my lying.
kranchan
Yeah but like this is a stupid example. Oh fucking no. Some kids buried some dead geese because they felt bad for them.
lurkerindisguise
don't want to be mean, but good lies are the one easily forgotten. I've lied many times and i will lie until my death; or maybe i'm lying ;)
infiniteflux
It says in the Koran, you should lie to your enemies. Most religious accept lying if it saves lives. Kids did no wrong.
GadenKerensky
What's the fucking lie here?
infiniteflux
The kids did not lie. The dad was an asshole.
jackpkmn
The lies don't bother me as much as the scars my grandfather left on my skin for telling the truth.
MeatballManWithAddedSauce
Pft, lies are great as long as you are smart about it. But most of us aren't smart before 12 though. But late teen lies are pretty neat.
Wildwoot
Was... was there a moral? Or a story?
BigUncleHeavy
The message was pretty clear: Clean up blood before it sets into a stain.
SirPoopyButtholeTheFirst
Pouring blood on your shingles will make them maintenance free and they'll survive until you die.
Smozzerz
what was the meaning?
BearMcBeary
I never understand that american "Call your dad sir" thingy. It would weird so damn awkward where I live. Like calling him king or noble.
CPolofVancouver
As much as they claim to hate aristocracy & monarchy, they sure do love being treated like lords every chance they get.
StarwithoutaSky
Almost zero Americans call their dads “sir”.
tidestail
I've never run into anyone who calls their dad"sir" unless it's a military house hold
NeverConfusedForNaught
These kids now know that doing the right thing isn't easy.
PrimeGuide
That was odd and confusing but at least it entertained me for a few minutes

Why? This is one of those short stories where the moral is "things sure did occur, boy".

Your dad kept pouring more blood up there at night cause you defied him.

Considering blood goes brown pretty quick doesn't it?
Carnot
Which of course is why he didn't use blood. After the rain, he painted it red. Or maybe it's just a story and meant to be symbolic *shrug*
oPhoenixo
borgmaster
Or maybe it was stained red and the blood just didnt react the way you might think.
oPhoenixo
I'm going with symbolic. Geese usually don't fall out of the sky in groups either.

I'm sorry, but the dad seemed like a real prick.
Byrd3790
Naw, seemed like a dad from that era. Discipline and demanded respect.
eathotdog
Yeah like he said, a prick.
MetaVulture
My grandfather is a dad from that era, he didn't force my uncles and aunts on to the roof to clean them for no reason 3 stories up. lmao.

No. I just got it. Variation on Lady Macbeth.
AncalagontheBlack
It's about lying and how lies never go away. I think.
ThomasTheWankEnglne
Perhaps. But I could think of 10,000 other examples before i though of dead goose blood. So random.
ElCabaro
Ive always felt like I related to it despite the fact that Ive never had brothers or a harsh Dad. Frankly, the story is nothing like my life
viciousbastard
Kids on roof? 99/100 mothers run outside and yell 'WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?! GET DOWN FROM THERE BEFORE YOU FALL AND BREAK YOUR NECKS!'
Beaver4Life
The dad seems a wife beater type, she may be scared to oppose him
CynicalSchoolboy
Lol not the ones I know.
IridescentLotus
My dad redid people's roofs...rooves? Now and then for a friend who had a company. I would help pick up fallen nails and such. Mom never
IridescentLotus
Minded me being on the roof. And she was a worry wart about anything
