Me And My Two Brothers Wanted

Me and my two brothers wanted to give my grandma nice birthday gifts.

My two brothers, both more wealthy than me,

bought a brand new car and a beautiful cabin on lakefront property respectively.

I couldn't afford anything other than a talking parrot.

However, this could've worked well for me because this particular bird was trained to quote Bible verses and my grandmother is very religious.

A week after her birthday, we each received a Thank you letter from grandma.

To my first brother: “Hi darling.

Thank you for the new car, but my eyes and ears aren't what they used to be and I'm not sure I can drive anymore

But, thank you so much because it's the thought that counts

Love, Nana”

To my other brother:

“Hello, dear child

Thank you for the cabin, but I'm afraid my eyesight isn't what it used to be and I can't fully appreciate the view.

But, thanks again sweetheart, it's the thought that counts

Love, Nana.”

To me: “Hello sweety

I know you can't afford a great deal,

but I appreciate what you gave me so much.

It was precisely what I needed.

The chicken was delicious

Love, Nana
