The bird said the words "Brush Your Teeth". Mom told me that after every meal. The bird heard those words so many times that it became one of it's phrases. It also said "Pretty Bird". Dad raised Tropical Fish. I remember that we had Neon Tetras. He only did it for a couple of years because it was a lot of work to clean the tank and replace the dead fish. He had no talent for raising fish. I remember that it was more fun to go to the pet store than to own our own. The tadpoles I got out of the creek at the end of our street. I brought them home in a jar and kept them in a bucket out back. I saw them grow one leg, two legs, three legs and then the vanished. They just jumped out of the bucket and lived in the backyard. They were still living there today as far as I know.
