My mother used to have...

When my mother was young she used to have a parrot as a pet. My mom told all of my siblings and me how much she cared for her parrot Juanito. She told us that Juanito knew how to talk and every time people would pass by the door he would say "hola" to everyone. Although he also learned some curse words as well and people would always get upset but others laughed at hearing him curse like a sailor and found it amusing. As I grew up the most exotic pet that I had was a very small chihuahua. I just hoped that Juanito hadn't flown away after being with my mother for three years so I would've had the chance to meet him.
