Hey there, time traveller!

Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I got a new bird from a friend who told me his bird knew a few colourful words. Well, he certainly does, and I’m learning a few things about my buddy’s wild personal life. To me, it’s amusing to hear the moans and groans and the little phrases like, “Ohhhh baby,” but it’ s not so great when my mom and grandmother come over, or if I’m on the phone and the bird starts up. I work from home.
I like this bird very much and don’t want him tucked away in a bedroom because he loves the sunshine, being with me and meeting new people. Still, there have been some rude conversation muddles when people phone who don’t understand about my pet and the bird tries to join the conversation. What do you suggest?
— Birdy’s Bad Words, Winnipeg
Dear Birdy’s Bad Words: Use call display and a few cordless phones scattered around the house. If the call is coming from a work contact — someone who isn’t close enough to explain about your sexy jive-talking bird — just waltz into the other room and talk there. As for mom, I’m sure she’s heard expressions like this before and she’ll understand that vocabulary came from your buddy. She may actually find it amusing and start wanting to bring her friends over for a laugh. Moms were young once too and are not as prissy as you think. How do you think you got here?
