Despite her family's pleas, this mother bought some parrots. (A thread.)
When a mother wants some parrots, she's going to get some parrots.
In a hilarious Twitter thread full of twists, turns, and birds, Twitter user Himynameisnoor documented a very interesting day she had in which her mother, after years of holding off, finally went and bought parrots.
It sounds odd, but Noor explains all of it, starting with a secretive phone call she received from her mother on Saturday morning.

Hooray!
The lesson here is a good one: Sometimes when you want to get something and nobody else wants you to get, just get it anyway and let them deal with it.
(Also, you really should go and read the whole thread. There's a particular flow to it, and it's very funny.)
