A special Christmas gift

Johnny wanted to get his mom a special Christmas gift, but she was notoriously hard to shop for.

As he walked past a pet store, he thought, “Maybe a pet would be a good idea.”

Entering the store, he asked the manager for suggestions.

“How about a puppy?” the manager offered.

“No,” Johnny replied. “It might make a mess in the house.”

“A fish, perhaps?”

“No, her house is too small for an aquarium.”

Just then, Johnny noticed a parrot and asked, “What about that parrot?”

The manager smiled and said, “That’s Chet. He’s amazing but very expensive.”

Johnny thought for a moment and said, “It’s for my mom. Let’s check him out.”

The manager approached Chet, held a lighter under his left wing, and the parrot began singing, “Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells…”

Then he moved the lighter under Chet’s right wing, and the bird sang, “Dashing through the snow…”

“Wow!” Johnny exclaimed. “What else can he sing?”

The manager brought the lighter closer to Chet’s crotch, and the parrot belted out, “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire.”
