I am off every other Friday. The project I am on works a 9day 80 hour schedule every two weeks.

My son (SS) and I were having breakfast together this AM. His mom works today so it was just the guys. SS, me and our obnoxious parrot. So, the kid finished breakfast and jumped in the shower. I grabbed a banana to top off my breakfast and gave a piece to the bird. He freaked out and ran around the top of his cage yelling "daddy, daddy, daddy" and "pretty bird, pretty bird, pretty bird". So I engaged in a conversation with the bird telling him that it was a banana and that it was okay.

When I say "he freaked out" I am talking about the bird. We don't keep the kid in a cage..... though that may not be a bad idea.

The shower had been on for about 30sec when it shut off and the kid popped his head out of the bathroom asked "What dad!". I asked him why the shower was off and told him that was a very short shower. I also told him that I was talking to the bird.

SS's reply ..... "Oh, I thought you were yelling at me." and went back to showering.

I chuckled.

We are living in an extended stay efficiency apartment so we are at pretty close quarters until we close on our new house next week.

Not a big Skid drama story but it made me laugh.

Best regards,
