keep my eyes above the waves

I shall try, but I should buy bird food first. Need to make peace with them. Nope, I don’t have a cat, so it’s all good. 

You should take a birdhouse and place it on your windowsill or something. You'd attract birds in no time. One time, my brother's dog brought in a dead bird inside the house. It was horrible.

Oh yeah! I didn’t think about that. I don’t think my dads would like that, but I could keep them all in my room… I think. 

Birds should be pretty easy to hide, right? I mean, they're way up there most of the time. You don't have any other animals.. like a cat do you?

Thanks! The name fit quite well. That’s okay, my dad will clean it. I don’t want to use a cage because that’s bad so he can be all over the house, as long as he doesn’t get into Talia’s room. 

By closing the window. That way Chirpy doesn’t have where to go. 

Chirpy, huh? Cute, I like it. Well you can't just let 'em fly around your room all the time. I'd bet he'd poop everywhere

Mmm, no. We will not be playing Monopoly tonight. My interest is in you having fun.

Oh, that's okay. Monopoly gets pretty rowdy in this household. I fully believe that it brings out the ugliest side of people. That's all right, I think I can sit this Friday out. Parties are kind of not really my thing. 

If the bird comes back, I’m keeping it. I just need a unisex name so it doesn’t get offended. 

How're you gonna catch it? 

In my closet? That’s dumb. His parents are not in my closet. 

What was I thinking? 'Course, that'd just be ridiculous.
