Michael the Mynah Bird

Michael repeats everything we say.  Everything.  Yesterday he asked a question, and my response was something like, "No, not right now, sweetie."  He then spent ten minutes wandering around saying "Sweetie, sweetie, sweetie."  And he does this regularly.  It's like we live with Rain Man.

But it's more than just repeating words.  He gets how to use them.  Last week he came up to me, a ball in his arms, and said, "Catch!" as he threw it at me.  When I caught it, he was delightfully surprised and said, "Niiiice!"

It's entertaining, but this could be dangerous.  I suppose I should refrain from referring to anyone as a "shit ass ho" in his presence.
