Today I took the van to the car wash. As it went through the vacuuming and cleaning process, Rusty, Tommy, and I hung out in the lobby watching. First we watched cars get clean and then we hung out near the great big parrot that the car wash has for a pet. His name is Bosco and I think I’ve blogged about him before. Anyway …
There was a gentleman standing near us, grinning at the boys – they are awfully cute. His grinning turned to a short burst of laughter when Rusty boldly and loudly declared,
“I was a parrot once.”
That was it. My prompting couldn’t get any more information out of him other than he was once a parrot.
Given this revelation and the fact that almost every time he sees a picture of Batman, Rusty says, “Hey! That’s me!” I’m tempted to believe in the concept of reincarnation.
Of course, the Batman part could be explained away since he DID dress up as Batman for Halloween … but I don’t recall him ever wearing a parrot costume.
