Once as a kid in
Kitimat, shortly after getting a budgie, I talked to another kid and told him
that while my budgie didn’t talk, budgies were capable of “talking” (i.e.
mimicking human sounds, a la a parrot).
He didn’t believe me. My mom soon got me a record while actually had a
recording of a budgie talking. Not long
after the other kid told me that he’d talked to his mom and she “confirmed”
they couldn’t talk and he seemed surprised that I was amused rather than agreeing
that that settled it. It was probably one of my first indicators that adults
aren’t always right about stuff.
