As I read this , I am wearing a beautiful straw hat I bought at the Cracker Barrel in Elkhart ,Indiana, last fall.
Is he at a Cracker Barrel?!
He could not have chosen a better place. When I moved here to Canada I bought a talking parrot from a Cracker Barrel. My son in kindergarten brought it to show and tell. The parrot repeated what you said. His teacher said it was the funniest show and tell she’s ever seen. LOL
