Dolly, our parrot, was a real chatterbox. My husband, Edward, joked about sending her to singing lessons. But after she came back, Dolly barely said a word. It wasn't until Edward went on a business trip that Dolly came back to life, showering me with her nonstop chatter. "Baby, you're so pretty! Baby, kiss kiss!" "Baby, white dress. I love it!" I froze for a second, then called Edward. "Where did you send Dolly?" Edward replied gently, "I had Jasper take her to the pet shop for a couple of days. She didn't learn any songs, but she ended up not talking at all." I hung up, feeling distracted. Dolly was clearly mimicking Edward's tone. But after that incident happened, I never wore a dress again. So who was this "baby" in a dress that Dolly kept chirping about?
