Barney has come upstairs to play today while I've been working. He's been a horror. Chewing papers on my desk, trying to bite cables, chewing at various bits of the laptop, phone etc etc.
I turn to him at one point and tell him
'You are a horror! Yes you are, you are a horror!'
He just turns round looks me in the eye and says
'Kisses?'
😂

I can just see it now, little head tilted slightly to the side … “kisses?” Luckily you don’t have school-aged children with homework projects ready to be taken in for assessment. I had to take myself in to my son’s teacher to apologise for the nibbles around the edge of his poster project courtesy of the wonderful Bluey. Luckily she had had parrots of her own as a child and understood how things happen. I suppose it made a change from the usual “the dog ate my homework, Miss.”

Marianne Marlow he is not a prolific talker but he mumbles a fair bit. He uses kisses and good boys quite often. Toby used to talk loads saying all sorts of things in both English and German but now he just speaks budgie!

I wonder why Barney still talks and Toby doesn't.
So cute though :-)

I'm sure he regards you as his mum!
