A girl named Noor has gotten Twitter super invested in a story about her mom trying to pull one over on the entire family. She writes that she got a call from her mom (from inside the house!) telling her she has a secret plan to adopt some parrots, against the wishes of literally everyone else in the house. Now, we don't understand why anyone would be against having a pet parrot — especially ones that can talk — but this mom was determined to buy the bird, no matter what her daughter or husband said. And luckily for us, it was all captured in this now viral Twitter thread.
Thread. My mum is absolutely mad. This conversation just happened over the phone. I’m in my room upstairs, and she’s downstairs.
This is how you get sucked into things, folks. Noor's mom obviously knew she was the weak link. Once one person falls to the parrot plan, the rest are just dominoes.
It began with Noor's mom suggesting they get one parrot and keep it secretly in the house, but things quickly escalated:
She called and whispered “can you keep a secret”
Me: Um... sure?
Mum: I need you to come with me to go get a parrot.
Me: What??? Mum, not again.
Mum: please just come, if you don’t, I’ll go alone
It seems like a simple thing to let your mom get a parrot, but Noor explained that a lot of people live in the house, potentially with allergies, and there's at least one other animal that would enjoy chomping on a parrot head:
I’m going to try and talk her out of this. It’s ludicrous, we have two people in the house who might be allergic AND A CAT.
Before she knew it, Noor was out the door with mom, who seems to have worked asa double agent at some point in her life:
She’s a stone cold liar. No one else in the house knows she’s going on this parrot mission. She just lied to my sister about where we’re going. My sister would actually scream if she knew about my mum’s antics.
You don’t understand. We’ve been having this bird argument for a decade now. My mum has been fighting to get birds in the house for YEARS. There’s 11 of us, and half of the fam have always protested. I tried to talk sense to her but she’s gone full rogue.
