Yes, we know the word parrot is misspelled. And, we had thought about correcting the title. But, Sydna misspelled the word when she wrote it on the canvas' back. We'll never know if the misspelling was intentional, a mistake, or had other meaning. But, we've decided to keep the original name. It makes us uneasy to leave it that way. Every time we see it, our head is screaming, 'THAT'S THE WRONG SPELLING!" But, the emotional frustration is consistent with our relationship with grandma. So, we leave it as it.
