Johnny wanted to get his mom something nice for Christmas but she’s hard to shop for.
Passing a pet store he thought, “Hmm, a pet might be a good idea. “He walked in the pet store and asked the manager what might be a good idea. “How about a puppy?”
“No, “said Johnny. “It may poop around the house. “
“A fish?”
“No, her house is small, so I don’t think an aquarium will fit. “Johnny then spied a parrot and asked, “How about that parrot?”
“Oh, “said the manager, “That’s Chet. He’s very expensive. “
“Well, “said Johnny, “It’s my mom, let’s take a look. “
The manager went to Chet, put a lighter under his left wing, and Chet started to sing “Jingle bells, jingle bells… “
Then the manager put a lighter under Chet’s right wig and it started to sing, “Dashing through the snow… “
“Wow!” said Johnny, “What else does he sing?”
The manager held the lighter under Chet’s crotch at which point Chet sang, “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire. “
