From Rita Roberts: Mitsi just passed away: Mitsi’s vocabulary consisted of the following…
She always said this to herself first,
Good morning, Mitsi
then:
Good morning, Rita
Other words are:
What are you doin’,
Where’s Koko? and:
Give me a kiss, and also:
Where’s John. She was just about a year old.
John has Mitsi’s parents in his aviary so if they have any more babies I might have one.
