Yours, Mine and Ours

Naomi is freaking out.


I guess Mr. Dumpty (her new man) has been staying with her for the past few weeks, as a bit of a dry run for their future cohabitation. Not surprisingly the Nay Nay is a little bit set in her ways, having lived alone since dinosaurs roamed the earth. I can only imagine the tangle of kitty-cat posters and Indian corn centerpieces that Dumpty has to navigate just to get from the bedroom to the bathroom for a midnight wee. I mean the poor feller deserves some kind of award for fortitude and focus for trying so hard to make this thing work. Ten bucks says he shags her under an acrylic afghan that traps and strangles the toes, but I digress.

Anyway, Naomi just confessed to me that Dumpty is starting to get on her nerves. I guess he has "suggestions." How dare him, right? I was like, "what kind of suggestions Naomi?"  She said he had some, "ideas about where things should go." I was like, "specifics woman, specifics!"
So that's when it finally came out. Naomi  says that she keeps parrots. Now, I know what you're thinking. Of course she f'n does!  But then she went on to say that  she keeps the cage in her BEDROOM. And again, I found myself nodding like a maniac as she said it, because of course. OF COURSE she does. I mean, can you imagine a more perfect location for a loud, squawky pet that hurls sunflower seed shells and poop from between its bars—not to mention repeats everything you say including random noises? I mean, what a perfect location. Cause you want a stinky bird mocking you during sex, right? Am I right? I mean who wouldn't want that?

Anyway, I guess Dumpty just got the courage up to ask her to move the habitat to another room, and Naomi (to her credit) said she'd think about it. Oh jeez Louise! Now I'm gonna have to find a way to get her to invite me over. I'm dying to see the place.  Why am I such a morbidly curious person? Why God?
