Mary tried to change the bird's attitude by constantly saying polite things. Kind words and playing soft music...anything she could think of. Nothing worked.
She yelled at the bird and the bird got worse. She shook the parrot and the bird got madder and more rude. Finally in a moment of desperation, Mary put the parrot in the freezer to get a minute of peace.
For a few moments she heard the bird swearing, squawking, kicking and screaming and then, suddenly there was absolute quiet. Mary was frightened that she might have actually hurt the bird and quickly opened the freezer door. The parrot calmly stepped out onto Mary's extended arm and said:
"I'm very sorry that I offended you with my language and my actions and I ask your forgiveness. I will endeavor to correct my behavior and I am sure it will never happen again."
Mary was astounded at the changes in the bird's attitude and was about to ask what had changed him, when the parrot continued, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
I wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving!
That's a good one! Thanks for the chuckle! Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving - thank you for your friendship. :D
ReplyDeleteI was a victim of reading through blogs too quickly. Ar first glance I thought it said Maren was given a parrot as a gift and I thought, "AND YOU LET HER KEEP IT?!"
