Just a reminder...I only relate stories about Milton's talking when there are other people who hear the same things I'm hearing...this is not the case here, but it was such a remarkable "conversation", I thought I'd share it anyway...
We were at the laundromat today, which is right across the road from the airport. A plane took off, and Milton noticed...
Milton: (staring at the plane taking off) "WAT DAT?"
Me: That's an airplane, Bird...a machine that can fly...
Milton: "NOT A BIRD...BIRD FLY"...
Me: Yes, birds fly...airplanes let people fly.
Milton: "BIRDS FLY...I FLY?"
Me: No, you can't fly, Milt...you have a boo boo, so you can't fly... (Milty had a non-tended to wing injury when he was young and for his comfort, we have to clip him)
Milton: "DAT BAD"...
Me: I know...I'm sorry you can't fly anymore...
Milton: (putting his head on my shoulder) "DAT OK"...
I don't know what to think about all this...such a depth of feelings from a bird...
