Hehe. This reminds me of an argument I had a few days
ago with my girl friend. My parrots were noisy and she
was angry with them because they could wake up the
baby. So I said: "You can't blame those parrots for
parroting!" (i.e. doing whatever parrots are supposed
to do because they are parrots, like: singing,
yelling, flying...)
