My Visit With The Bird In The Pet Store
Anyways....
I walk past a glass cage with a large bird in it. I'm pretty sure it was a parrot. I know nothing about birds....
But as I walked by the enclosure, the bird seemed to walk along with me (The enclosure was about 4 feet off the floor, and maybe 5 or 6 feet long)...
As I walked back the other way, the bird followed me that way too. So I stopped. The bird started bobbing it's head, it picked up a small toy with it's beak, grabbed it with it's claws, and ...I swear....tried to toss it to me.
I walked to the other end of the enclosure...sure enough, it followed me. But it kept bobbing it's head, and hopping up and down. It hopped onto a branch (I don't think it could fly) at the very corner of the glass enclosure. I put my hand up to the glass, and it tried to grab my finger...I think.
This "Dance" went on between us for about ten minutes. I started thinking "I gotta get this bird". Of course, I know nothing about how to care for a bird, and my wife would have killed me....but...the bird was just sooooo happy to see me.
A lady that didn't work there walked up and said "That bird has chosen you. Probably because it's a female and you're a male." I asked "How do you know it's a female?"
She said "Because when I was looking at it just before you came in, it ignored me".
Then she said "You know, these birds can live up to 40-50 years"
I said "I'm not sure I'm ready for that kind of a commitment"..the lady smiled and walked away. The bird was $325.
I got so excited (about what the bird was doing, not about buying it), that I was going to go to the other store, get my wife, and show this bird to her.
But, by the time I found my wife (BIG craft store), I had forgotten about it. Then on the way home, my wife asks "So, did you see any interesting pets?"
I think, if I were single....that bird and I would now be watching TV together.

Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.
