Edy wants a Parrot

We were at the Ballard Farmers Market last Sunday when a man with a parrot happened to be walking by. Edy got to hold the parrot on her shoulder, and she loved it.

Ed also asked to hold it, but given his reaction at feeding the birds at the zoo, when he panicked when they tried to land on his hand, I thought it was not a good idea.

Edy has been wanting a pet for a while now. Yesterday she said to me, "dad, I want a parrot because they live a long time, longer than 14 years, and don't die, so I won't have to be sad.

So true.
