A pretty lady walked into a pet store and started chatting with the owner.

“I’d love a pet that matches my personality,” she said, smiling confidently. “Something fun, charming, colorful, and a bit unpredictable. You know… something with presence.”

The owner thought for a moment, then pointed toward a bright parrot sitting proudly on a wooden perch.

“How about a parrot? They’re vibrant, intelligent, talkative, and sometimes a little sassy. This one has plenty of personality.”

The lady looked at the parrot with interest.

“Oh, he’s beautiful!” she said. “But I must warn you, I don’t want a pet that talks too much. I’m already the entertaining one in my house. I don’t need anyone stealing my spotlight.”

The owner laughed.

“Don’t worry,” he said. “This parrot mostly repeats what it hears. Of course, I can’t guarantee it won’t add a little flair of drama.”

The lady grinned.

“That sounds perfect. I like a bit of drama, as long as I’m still the star.”

She walked closer to the cage and said, “Hello, handsome! I think you and I are going to get along wonderfully.”

The parrot tilted its head, blinked twice, and replied:

“Only if you let me talk during the boring parts.”

The lady burst out laughing.

“See? Charming, funny, and unpredictable. Exactly what I asked for!”

She turned to the owner and said, “I’ll take him.”

The owner smiled and handed her the cage.

“Excellent choice, madam. Just remember: he’ll only repeat what you say… but I can’t promise he won’t add a dramatic pause.”
