Scott’s bird…

What are we talking about?

Scott: I wanted to fill the swimming pool.

Sorry, you were out tonight.

Helen: Swimming pool? What swimming pool?

What are we going to talk about then?

Scott: Are we at any special number of blog?

No.

Helen: Helen’s birthday blog.

Scott: Or Harv’s.

What will we talk about, then?

Helen: Samantha’s birthday party.

Might not be that exciting…

Helen: It is exciting. Have you ever been to a party? No.

What do you want to talk about, Scott?

Scott: How about we talk about birds?

Helen: Birds are boring.

Scott: Not as boring as talking about a party.

Helen: Parties are great.

Scott: Preview of a party.

Right – birds…

Scott: Yeah, that was what I said.

What do you want to tell me?

Scott: Well… Can you ask me a question other than that?

What is a bird?

Scott: I could just say a winged feathered animal which lays shelled eggs on land and is a vertebrate.

Helen: And that means it doesn’t have any bones.

Scott: Yes, it does.

What’s your favourite kind of bird?

Scott: There’s a big selection of birds.

Helen: I know my favourite.

Scott: What?

Helen: Peacock.

Scott: Maybe you’re right…

Helen: They’re the best – they’ve got coloured feathers.

Scott: Just because they’ve got coloured feathers and can’t fly doesn’t mean they’re the best.

Helen: Birds that can live on the moon – they’re the best.
