The Galah In The Reflection

Kevin and Kylie (as I overheard them by the garden water cooler. I have parrot-phrased as closely as possible).

Kevin: ‘Hey, Kylie, there’s another parrot down in the water here. Right below me. Look’.

Kylie: ‘Oh, Kev, that’s you, ya daft galah.’

Kevin: ‘Oh, now I see, yeah. It IS me. Crikey, I’m good looking, eh. Check those feathers.’

Kylie: ‘Lawks! When I think that I dumped Jason for you. Sigh. I wonder where Jason is these days.’

Kevin: ‘I’m thinking of getting a mullet. I’d look so cool. Even cooler than now, I mean. Hey, Kylie? A mullet, what’d ya think? Kylie? Kylie?’

Kyle”. “Lawks. I cant believe I chose you, Kev.
