Jim thought that a parrot would be the perfect thing to keep his wife company when he was gone on the road. However, he never realized that Jenny the parrot would become attached to him and would want to go with him everywhere that he would go. That even meant that he would take her shopping with him, but that was not always a good thing.
Jenny would always go with them to every area store that they went to. The problem that he ran into was that she would frequently blurt out to Kim what they were looking at when Jenny saw her later on in the store. That made it very hard to shop for any type of present for Kim during any season.
One day Jim really thought he had managed to sneak a mongoose mountain bike past Jenny, but as soon as he got home he knew that he was had. Jenny quickly took off from his shoulder and flew into the living room and started talking in a really loud voice telling Kim about the new bikes that they had just purchased.
As Jim sat down with a thud in the kitchen chair disappointed that Jenny had managed to ruin another surprise he remembered the pearl izumi shorts. Those shorts while not costing him much money was something that Jenny did not know about. So he jumped up happy and headed into the room with Kim. He handed her the bag and knew from the hug that he got that she was happy and surprised by the item that he gotten.
Jenny started screeching loudly towards Jim and Kim hugging. Jim quickly headed back out to his shop and thought about what he could do to make sure that Jenny would stop telling all of his secrets. The next day he headed back into the house and gave Jenny a brand new perch to sit on.
He decided that the thing that would keep her occupied would be some new toys. He walked back in and hung those up on her cage. Jenny hopped into the cage and started playing with them. While she was occupied with the toys Jim headed out to the store to purchase some new diamondback bikes. He never thought that he would get away with it, but he managed to.
He go back home a little bit later on in the day. Jenny noticed that he was gone and gave him a nasty look for leaving her behind. However, Kim was happy because it finally meant she would be surprised. Surprised she was when she went out to the truck to see the new items had a custom mounted perch that Jenny could use to go with them to any place that they headed to now.
