When Shelly turned one and started babbling to animals, Mother was delighted. Talking at the age of three, Mother found endearing. As a six-year-old, Shelly told Mother that the animals understood her words. Mother begrudgingly accepted it as a phase.
By the time Shelly was ten, Mother had enough. She called a doctor and set an appointment for therapy. She demanded Shelly get dressed and meet downstairs. Upstairs, Shelly opened her bedroom window. Minutes later, a knock at the door came. Mother hesitantly opened to find hundreds of hovering birds. Shelly came downstairs to find her session was canceled.
