The Importance of Commas

Max noticed something interesting while looking outside our bus window.  He exclaimed, "LOOK!  It's a pretty fat bird!"

The grammar policewoman in me asked Max to clarify.  "Max, is it a 'pretty, fat bird' meaning it's pretty and it's also fat?  Or did you mean that it's a bird that's incredibly fat that it's a 'pretty fat bird?'"

"I mean it's a pretty bird and it's fat.    Just like you, Mommy!"

I think I'm glad I clarified.
