Meet Lemon.
He's our one and only pet at the moment. A birthday present for our 8 year old, who really wanted a dog but was not disappointed in the least. This little parakeet is very loved. He gets enough love to serve a whole litter of pups.
Here's the scene: Actually he's in pretty much every scene these days, as he's a member of the family, and the topic of much talk around here, but here's a glimpse at the latest of conversations surrounding our yellow feathered friend:
little gal: Are we ever going to get a girl bird, so Lemon can live a real life?me: ....... No.
I should have encountered as to what a real life really means. I should have used this as a natural opportunity to have a a good conversation about the facts of life and birds and the bees and whatnot. I should have said a lot of things, but all I said was, "No."
I just didn't have it in me.
Next time I'll be ready. And I need to be, considering yesterday was the first day of 3rd(!) grade! I need to keep on filling the sponge in that girl's head before anyone else does!
