One week before christmas I asked my mom, where we could get a "Partriginipear" Tree since there was a song about it I thought it was a must have kind of tree, for the season to get started. Mom and I argued for what seemed to be about 20 minutes, where she clearly explained about a partridge bird , in a pear tree.
