Okay, when you tell somebody you are going to become a bachelor,
how come the first thing they ask is if you're going to get rid of your parrots?

I don't sleep with my parrots. :scared:

I'm going to have great fun with this; telling people the line and getting their responses. It'll be more fun telling them tuition costs... :scared:

Dual major Bachelor's degree too. :9 Which includes books, software, and with luck a scholarship involved too.

1. My dear Deja Q!
I have to admit that seeing that subject line did surprise me a bit! I mean, I didn't think you'd been married!

Good luck with school!

Not that you need it...;)

I know you'll do well!

:D

2. Our next guest enjoys singing and being in a cage. Please welcome, a parrot!

3. There is obviously something missing to this story.

4. Only what you edited out?
:rofl:

I don't know what mum and dad were thinking, unless they were making a joke. They have alluded to the idea they are grandparents of parrots (though getting rid of the birds suggested divorce and that's not quite the same thing...)

5. Yes, I corrected spelling.
Thus, my suggestion that part of this story is missing.

What the hell does announcing bachelorhood (or being single), have to do with having pets?

Or the scary mark with the :scared: thingy that you do not "sleep" with your parrots? The thought never entered my mind.

I have pets, and they don't intermingle with relationships. But I wonder WTF you are talking about?

6. Ah, I see... I realized that earlier today too.
Bachelor's Degree does not equate to actually being a Bachelor. :blush:
