Bill got up early and did not like my chattering, for they said that I hit the floor talking and it was more jobs for Bill, if he listened.

;)

So over the years, we settled into married life, he got up alone in the morning, did not want food or talk. I stayed up at night and did crafts, read or whatever and even when we had a house full of foster kids, we both had periods of being alone.

Personally, I think that makes for a healthy marriage. Time apart is good. Hubby and I are exactly the same way with our mornings and nights!

When I got to work and told Jim, he said Jo forgot to give me the bathtub.... an 8 inch round cake pan, to be placed in the sink and a trickle of water allowed to run, so Dink could shower, himself and the entire kitchen.

LOL! How cute! Although, I suppose not for you, getting a wet kitchen out of it.

I had a list of 139 words that he could say and did when he wanted to, that were used correctly.

Very smart!

But let Bill’s boss’s wife come to dinner and Dink was plain rude, he would mock what she said and she was one of those, who bragged a lot, how dink knew which words to repeat, I did not figure out, but he would pick her brags up and sit there repeating them.

LOL! Now that's a perfect situation. You could let Dink say all the things you wanted to and feign ignorance. I wonder if all parrots are that feisty - he sounds like he was quite a handful.

No, not all, for I owned other Petz Conures and they were almost boring, but that too may have been Dink’s fault.

For I had one that I hoped would breed with Dink, and nothing happened, it never did talk, so I took it to the pet shop that I supplied.

They were very happy with it, for they knew Dink and that they would never own him, for once it was away from Dink the other parrot could say everyone of Dinks words and voices, they kept it for their own joy.

I bought a pair of Nanday Conures, from a lady that groomed dogs, all he would do was bark at anything with fur.

For several nights, he barked in the middle of the night and I could not figure out why, but did, when I discovered a mouse was eating out of his cage, he left droppings.

The Pet Shop had bought a large fancy parrot from a young family that was getting a divorce.......LOL, they had to remove it from the front of the store, for it would argue in the couples voices and the words got downright ugly at times.

Lots of checkbook and credit card talk and more, poor parrot had picked up all they said.

In Wellton, we had a Deputy, who was a bit of a red-neck and not loved at all.

If someone wanted to get his dander up, they asked if he had talked to any birds lately.

For he had gone to one of the ‘old family’ homes, knocked on the door and a voice yelled “Come on in, the door is open”.

So he did....

In time to catch the naked wife as she came out of her shower.

I am sure she screamed and he got out, in a hurry.

It was their parrot who told him to come on in.
LOL
