Overheard in My House: Conversation Between Kay and Kiwi

Scene:  My mother was in the laundry room.  I heard the sound of Kiwi the Grey flying in to see her.  She lands on the dryer.

Kay:  Kiwi!  You couldn't just wait on your perch for one minute?!

Kiwi:  (opens a pine nut)

Kay:  Kiwi!  There's no eating in the laundry room!

Kiwi: (drops pine nut shell on the floor; continues to chew)

Kay:  Kiwi!  You can't just fly around the house with food wherever you want!

OK.  Kiwi didn't actually speak in that conversation.
