Oh my goodness! I actually have heard about parrots who talk like sailors and so I totally can see that happening. Thanks for the hilarious story! You told it well and kept it PG-13.
In our grandmas prayer group, one of the ladies has a parrot who chatters away during prayer. I understand she sings hymns so the vocabulary is nothing like Sharlene's bird's words.

    The kernels of truth in this story--my son was enthralled with parrots--my ex took him to the pet store--as my ex passed by the parrot said f*ck you.

Funny narrative with an interesting twist at the end. I understand why you opted to stop at the pet store on the way home; and why she felt the need to part ways with Mac! The artwork complements your narrative well. Good job!

This is so funny and so like kids to want something so expensive. Great way to hide the bad words. You are such a good writer and so enjoyable to read. Thanks.

Too bad Sharlene didn't have a better relationship however, it saved you the hassle of having a pet that probably would have been forgotten after the novelty was gone. Kids and pets are always a joy, sometimes.

I suppose waiting for a parrot to roam into your home would have been a very forlorn wish on its owns, most of these are exotic birds, and it's illegal to catch and sell, (don't ask me how one is procured, black market for thousands of dollars) beautifully written Liz, Roy

Hehehe. Nothin's for nothing' in this world! Mac might have made a historic debut as the first fine feathered witness in a divorce trial!
Perfectly obvious why neither partner were fighting over THIS marital property! Out of sixes.... Will you take six chuckles?--Karenina

You love to unveil the hidden lives of people with unexpected outbursts and explitives (sp). The exposure is cringe worthy. I used to take my kids to a pet store to get their weekly fix of dogs!!!!!!!!!!!!
