Blue Boy

A small elderly lady sat in the exam room with her grandson and a very sick parakeet on the floor of its cage. She was crying quietly.

“He’s very, very sick,” she said.

As the doctor took him in his hands, she said, “He’s 25 years old.”

Not possible, thought the doctor. Parakeets only live to be six or eight years old. The doctor took him out into the hall to place him in the incubator. The grandson stepped out quickly and grabbed his arm. “Doctor,” he said. “He’s not 25 years old. This is the fifth one we’ve had for Grandma. We just replace it every time it dies. She doesn’t know.”

So the parakeet died, the grandson was notified later that day, and he made a quick trip to the pet store to make another miracle happen.
