One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle
Inside perched a sleek gray bird with a vibrant red tail, watching me with an intelligence that was almost unsettling.
"William, what kind of bird is this?" I asked, leaning closer to examine the creature. Its dark eyes followed my movement with eerie focus. "It looks remarkably... aware."
William's laughter filled the room, a deep, genuine sound that had always made me feel at home. "This is an African Grey parrot. His name is Einstein, and he's quite the genius." He beamed with the pride of a new parent. "Watch this."
Just as I was wondering what was so special about this particular bird, it suddenly opened its beak and spoke in a clear, oddly British accent: "All style, no substance!"
