A young man wanted to get his grandmother something very special for her 90th birthday. He searched and searched and finally found what he considered the perfect gift in an exclusive pet shop. It was a parrot that spoke ten languages.
He had the parrot shipped to his Granny and waited a few days for her response. When he didn't hear from her, he called to find out if she had received the bird and what she thought of his gift.
He asked: "Grandma, what did you think of that amazing bird I sent?"
She replied: "Oh, it was delicious!"
Shocked, he replied, " But Granny, you ate it? That parrot could speak ten different languages! And you ate him!"
"Well," she answered, " He should have said something."
