A Little Birdie

A Little Birdie

"What's for the snack sack today?"

"A little birdie."

"Okay," I said as I ran a search and handed him my iPhone.

"I wanted a real bird," he complained after a minute of flicking through the options. "These aren't even real birds." He was right about that. Most of the images were not birds.

"Aw, this one's cute!" he exclaimed showing me a picture of a painting of a parrot in a cage.

"No it's not."

"Why not? He's cute."

"He's in a cage and he doesn't look cute at all."

"Aw, this one's so cute! And he's wearing a cute hat!"

This time I had to agree. When I was finished, he reiterated his sentiment, "Aw, how cute!"
