An acquaintance has a little daughter who recently turned eight. For her birthday, the parents gave the girl a little budgie parrot because it was her dream pet.
Sadly, nine days later the budgie died. The child was grief-stricken.
“Oh, how terrible!” I said to the mother. “I’m so sorry!”
“No, it’s fine,” the mother reassured me. “They had a 14-day return policy, so we got our money back.”
