A Boy and His Parrot

A sentimental story about a young lad 
(we’ll call him John) and his Parrot.
 
A young man named John received a parrot as a gift. 
The parrot had a bad attitude and an even worse  vocabulary.

Every word out of the bird's mouth was rude, obnoxious 
and laced with profanity. John tried and tried to
change the bird's attitude by consistently saying only polite words, playing soft music and anything else he could
think of to 'clean up' the bird's vocabulary.
 
Finally, John was fed up and he yelled at the parrot. 
The parrot yelled back. John shook the parrot and the
parrot got angrier and even more rude. John, in desperation, 
threw up his hand, grabbed the bird and put him in the freezer.
 
For a few minutes the parrot squawked and kicked and screamed. Then suddenly there was total quiet. 
Not a peep was heard for over a minute.

Fearing that he'd hurt the parrot, John quickly opened the 
door to the freezer. The parrot calmly stepped out
onto John's outstretched arms and said "I believe I may have 
offended you with my rude language and
actions. I'm sincerely remorseful for my inappropriate 
transgressions and I fully intend to do
everything I can to correct my rude and unforgivable behavior."

John was stunned at the change in the bird's attitude.

As he was about to ask the parrot what had made such a 
dramatic change in his behavior,
the bird spoke-up, very softly, "May I ask what the turkey did?"
 HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
