Banned Pets [TEN DAYS OF PATMEME]
Continuing on from yesterday’s Patmeme kickoff, we’re now at Day two:
Top Two Pets I Won’t Let My Children Have
- A cat. I’m violent allergic to cats. Plus I just don’t like them. Sorry, Fletch.
- A parrot. This aversion is probably shared by much of the San Gabriel Valley. We’ve had a feral parrot problem for at least ten years. The damn things set up shop in a tree outside your window — dozens and dozens of them — and just squawk and squawk and squawk…. I hate them. I really do. I’m not a fan of guns at all, but I’d be all for issuing a shotgun to every home in the SGV that agreed to shoot at these damn birds whenever possible.
Extra bonus question: What one animal would I definitely let my child have?
A falcon, to hunt the parrots.
