I am Willie Buttons and this is the first time in almost a year that I tricked mom to let me on her shoulder. The coast was clear and there were no enemies in sight, so i was on my best behavior and mom rewarded me with a tour of the house. She even showed me her bedroom and "the bird room" where the little birds sleep. I loved the colorful walls... But they dont have a TV, while I do! We both had a good experience and we allowed the Bob guy to take a picture. I don't really like him, but he uncovers me in the morning because mom leaves for work when it's still dark. I guess I have to put up with him after all.

Did mom tell you all that I am an opera singer? The show starts at 9:00 pm every night. Rain or shine. The other day she thought she could "get me" off the cage by tricking me, but it didn't work. She knows I bite when I am asked to step up (unless *I* want to step up) and she wanted me to go into the room with Coca, on the bird stand.

The silly woman went and got herself an umbrella, opened it, hid herself behind it and stormed towards my cage, convinced that

a) I wouldn't know she's behind the umbrella,

b) I would fly off the cage so she could "rescue" me off the floor (yes, I do step up when I need to be rescued).

When I saw this black umbrella coming, I made a U-turn into my cage and a "what the hell!!!????" escaped my beak (I was saving that one for an occasion like this one, nobody had heard it before), and starting laughing my crazy drunk woman laugh.

I don't know if it was my previously unheard exclamation, or my wicked laugh that undid my mom, but she revealed her devious self by dropping the umbrella and sinking into the couch laughing helplessly. Needless to say, I didn't step up that night. Today though she was so awfully nice to me that I couldn't help myself. I stepped up even though I didn't need to be rescued, and while I was at it......I went......ALL THE WAY (and she let me). I have the feeling this was an exception, so I wanted a keepsake and I will share it with you.

Willie, it is great to see you here! Congrats on your opera singing career! You are looking quite handsome and healthy. I know it's tough but if you could treat the lady with the umbrella with just a teeny bit of understanding? I happen to know you have a wonderful home with a very nice mom.

Great photo!!!

Willie Buttons you sounds like quite the character! Good job keeping your mama on her toes. But it was very nice of you to give into her and look what happened! You got a tour of the house. What could be better then that!

Now don't be too hard on your mama. Give her a break now and then, she deserves it. ;)
