A burglar snuck into a quiet house late at night. He was shining his flashlight around, searching for valuables when a voice suddenly said, “Jesus knows you’re here…”
He nearly jumped out of his skin! He turned off his flashlight and stood completely still. After a long silence, he slowly calmed down and went back to work.
He started unplugging a stereo when he heard it again, this time louder, “Jesus is watching you…” He spun around, heart pounding, shining the light everywhere. Finally — in the corner — his flashlight landed on a parrot in a cage.
“You… you said that?” he whispered.
“Yep,” the parrot replied. “I’m just trying to warn you — He’s watching you.”
The burglar exhaled in relief. “Oh, so you’re warning me? And what’s your name, little bird?”
“Moses,” the parrot squawked. The burglar laughed. “Moses?! What kind of people would name a parrot Moses?”
The parrot nodded toward the dark corner and said, “The kind of people who name their Rottweiler… JESUS.”
