My little Goffins goes to bed at about 8 pm. Dennis likes me to turn off the lights and leave. I go upstairs where I rule the roost, and I get to have lights and TV all I want. It's much easier to do that than listen to the incessant screaming if I don't do it.
But, of course my kitchen is downstairs, and sometimes I like to return to the refrigerator--you know how that is! Cold water, ice cubes...so I went downstairs around 9 pm or so, clearly violating the rules of the house. Light on, I tell Dennis don't worry, I'll leave soon, just getting something. He talks bird talk to me from his perch.
Now, in all the time I have had Dennis, the only thing I have ever heard him say which I felt is really something he was actually saying, is "I'm okay." So, I started including that in the silly stuff I say to him. "I'm okay, Dennis. Are you okay?" He responded in bird talk, and I said additional stuff to him, mostly reassuring him that I would leave again. Then, I said it again. "I'm okay. Are you okay?"
And, he yelled, "OKAY!!!" Clear as a bell. And very loudly. And then he started screaming. I got my stuff, turned out the light and said goodnight. Might have to get a fridge upstairs.
