Paint the…birdy?

Me: We should get a bird. *2 seconds later* Nah, it’d be caged, nevermind…
Bro: Yeah…it’s caged, makes a lot of noise, you havta clean it…just sit outside and look at them, it’s easier!
Me: But…I want a yellow one.  Or a blue!  Orr greeen.
Bro: Then–
Me: NO!  Don’t tell me to paint it!
Bro: *laughs sheepishly*
Me: Omg…I can’t believe I was right…
Bro: Well…water based paint.
