Dad is winning

I saw this little guy at my parents' house.

Me: Oh, look at the chippy!

Dad: Yeah, he's always there. I feed him peanuts. He wanted to come in the garage, but I don't want him in the house, so I told him no and shut the door. He hasn't tried that again.

Me: Wait, what? You feed him peanuts? From your hand??!!

Dad: Yep.

Me: But aren't you the one who is always telling me not to pet wild animals? (He has even told me this via a comment on a friend's Facebook post)

Dad: I'm not petting him, I'm giving him peanuts. You shouldn't try to pet wild animals.

He is too funny.
