Two Silly Pigeons

A commercial for insurance came on during our Halloween playlist today that featured two pigeons talking about how much you can save with Progressive.

Troy: “That’s that commercial with the two silly pigeons.”
Me: “Yes, it is.”
Troy: “How can those pigeons talk? Are they magic?”
Me: “Who said regular pigeons can’t talk? Why do they have to be magic?”
Troy: “I dunno.”
Me: “Well, have you ever talked to a pigeon? Maybe they all talk.”
Troy: “No, they just fly away.”
Me: “Well, that doesn’t mean they don’t talk, it just means they’re scared of you.”
Troy: “I don’t know why they’d be scared.”
Me: “Who knows. I just had a thought.”
Troy: “What?”
Me: “Do you think pigeons in different countries speak the same language, or do you think they have their own dialect? Like do pigeons in America speak English and pigeons in Greece speak Greek? Or do they all speak pigeonese?”
Troy: “I don’t know, but can we stop talking about this now? I can’t hear my music.”
Me: “Fine, but I’d really like to know the answer to that question.”
