If you have a parrot, you should teach it to say, "I already did my homework."  That way, if your parents ask you to do your homework instead of watch TV, you can have the parrot answer and you won't be the one lying.

Other helpful sayings your parrot could learn would be:

1. Buy Calvin a new toy.
2. I'm hungry.
3. Yes, I took a shower.
4. I'm making my bed.
