When I was in the bedroom today, I picked up the tin that has the pens, clippers, etc in it...I needed to clip my fingernails. Milton knows all the "goodies" are in this tin, and wanted it...
Milton: "WAT DAT?!" (he knows what it is )
Me: I want to cut my nails, Bird.
Milton: "I LIKE IT ...I WANT IT"...
Me: You can't have it...there are things that could hurt you in it...
Milton: "BUT I WANT IT"...
Me: You can't have it, sorry...
Milton now goes to the top of his cage and starts running back and forth...
Milton: (getting angrier) "GIVE ME NOW!"
Milty's worked himself into that "dangerous 'too" mood now..so I know better than to put myself in his reach.
Me: You need to cool off, Bird...
Milton runs back into his cage...screaming all the way...within seconds, three bowls and the phone book are disconnected from their places...and thrown OUT of the cage...
Milton: "YOU BAD BIRD DAD...I WANT DAT NOW!"
Me: Sorry, Bird.
For the next half hour, the house is echoing with angry 'too screaming......then Milt came out of his cage and pooped on the wall...
...oh well...some days are more challenging than others...
