Twitter user Noor (@Himynameisnoor) recently shared a post about a weird phone conversation with her mom and it escalates hilariously.
Turns out that her mother is setting up a top-secret plan behind her dad’s back and wants her daughter to be partner-in-crime. After Noor realized that there’s no way back, she began live-tweeting the funny but exciting chat she had with her mom and the internet is laughing about it. Scroll down to see the full story.
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
Me: YOU CAN’T HAVE A SECRET PARROT IN THE HOUSE

Mum: …
Me: where would you even get a parrot?
Mum: I know a woman.
Me: Who?
Mum: just a woman. With parrots.
Me: [sigh] Where is she based
Mum: somewhere
Me: MUM.
Mum: Look, I need a parrot

Me: When?
Mum: Now
Me: NOW?
Mum: Now.
Me: … NOW???
Mum: get in the car.
Me: mum no, please. We can’t do this. Plus I’m busy until 3pm
Mum: 3pm. Be in the car.
Me: Omg dad is allergic to…
Mum: HE’S NOT, HE TELLS LIES
Me: MUM. Why would he lie??

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.
Will keep this thread updated 🤦🏽♀️

I TRIED TO TALK HER OUT OF IT AND NOW SHE’S SAYING ‘PARROT’ WITH AN ‘S’. She wants more than one???
Me: THIS IS RIDICULOUS
Mum: YOU CAN’T JUST GET ONE. It’ll need little friends.

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.
Ngl, I’m starting to give in. Sitting here watching my mum lie like pic.twitter.com/qfH5k1XfAQ

WE’RE HERE. BIRD LADY HAS CHICKENS. Mum is getting carried away pic.twitter.com/0axYXw5OFS

Um. So… We’re on our way home. pic.twitter.com/JZ8fp7JY5H

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.

Sister: What… what have you done
Mum: I’ve done what needed to be done. I need them.
Sister: You didn’t NEED parrots!!
Mum: THEY’RE LOVE BIRDS
Sister: NOOR, why did you let her do this??
Me: pic.twitter.com/Ny1wGw6w0L

Me: LOOK, I had to talk her out of chickens. And she wanted four parrots but I bargained it down to two. This could’ve been a lot crazier.
[enter kids]
Kids: AWWWWWWWW

Mum: Do you love me?
Dad: Yes dear, I love you but I don’t think tha-
Mum: I don’t need you to think, I just need to accept the situation.
Dad: pic.twitter.com/URaFRq1Spq

Dad: What if we just kept one?
Me: They’re love birds and they mate for life, they’ll very literally die without each other.
Dad [to mum]: that reminds me, I’ve booked us a weekend away for our anniversary this year
The rest of us: awww

We haven’t named them yet. Feel free to drop some suggestions! pic.twitter.com/vuK3M6Pxio

But moving to the UK meant she didn’t have the means (or the time) to have any birds for a while. But now she does! We’re all happy to have our lovebirds, and we’re all on board! 🙂
