LOL, you've made me remember Chico, my great-aunt's
parakeet, who was a real good talker and a quick learner. He had an
extensive vocabulary, including the phrase "Pretty soon," which I believe Aunt
May told him when he was looking for fresh food. At some point, making
conversation, she must have said, "Chico make poopsie?" Aunt May was very
proper, so imagine her consternation when Chico came out with "Chico make
poopsie -- pretty soon!"

Subject: OT: RE: Max the Parrot
Hi Kayte,
Max seems to be an awfully popular pet name right now! I didn't name
mine that, she came to us already named at age 8. We thought she was a boy
for her first 5 years here, told her she was a good boy all the time,
told the two (now departed) dogs they were good girls. THEN, we
had a blood test done and found out she was a girl. I got the news in the
mail, read it to her, and all we heard from her for the next month was
"I'm a GIRL????" I know she couldn't possibly know what that meant,
but it was so cute. Too funny what your husband taught his to
say about his sister. They learn swear words so much faster than anything
else. I have tried to teach mine to say "Water" for 8 years so I'll
know right away if she's emptied her bowl with a bath. She won't even
mumble it. But I say "Oh shit" once when I drop something and
she immediately adds it to her vocabulary and uses it
appropriately. Go figure.
Hope you and Crackers are doing well,
Beth
