From The Mouths Of Parakeets......
TFMCD told me a great story last night about a conversation she had with Ladybug. It seems they were just driving along when Ladybug, out of the blue, says:
Gramm, you remind me of someone.
"Really, sweetheart? And who would that be?"
A friend of mine.
"And who would that friend be, Ladybug?"
Jesus.
.....pause...."Jesus, huh? So, he's a friend of yours?"
Yeh, he's my friend.
"Well, that's wonderful! But why do I remind you of Jesus?"
Because you're so-o-o nice!
Anybody who knows TFMCD knows exactly what Ladybug is talking about.
Of course, by the time she gets to me, the communication goes into a different plane.
Papa! Guess what?!
"You have a boyfriend? A driver's license? You're gonna give me a million billion zillion jillion dollars?"
No! Better!
"OK, I give up. What could possibly be better than a million billion zillion jillion dollars?"
Mrs. Ryan is a Parrothead!
"Get out! Really? That's fantastic, Ladybug!" (now whispering to TFMCD)"So, who's Mrs. Ryan?"
"Her teacher."
And I told her I'm a PARAKEET!
Kid's got it made. She can already do "Phinz Up" and sing the important songs. We're talking straight A's from here on out.
Have a great weekend, everybody, keep it between the navigational beacons, and as always: PHINZ UP!
