stage 2- weekend mission

Days 6 and 7
Special event- a flamingo fiesta!
Host a karaoke party for the extended family. The party must begin at 630am friday morning and last until Sunday evening. Don't forget to bring the parrots and wear the shock collar!

You will receive a special party flamingo in the mail today. This flamingo has a sparkle in his eye because he has several plans for causing embarrassment and awkwardness during the party. He loves to point out people's physical flaws, to burp, to fart, to talk about various body parts. He will help you learn the art of “damage control.” Other strategies you may wish to use with this trouble making parrot: over-talking, turning UP the music, redirection (HEY you want a snack?! LOOK is that an airplane?), and creative rhyming (“SQUUUAWK... look at that scab on her nose!” “No honey she doesn't have a crab on her clothes... that's a snail!”)

Your mission during the party (in addition to playing hostess and serving the food): You must pay all your bills and balance your checkbook. This is to be done from the middle of the dance floor.


Did you make it through the week? Are you ready for more? If you survived this week and followed the training program, you should find you with stronger vocal cords, greater lung capacity, and a high tolerance for noise, chaos, inefficiency, and unpredictable behavior. You are almost ready for your visit!

Still to come... discipline strategies and more patience training.....
