An elderly couple called (someone?) round to help. Mr Old said his wife was driving him crazy because she kept on bringing him tea, constantly. He thought she must be going senile because she was so sure he wanted all that tea.

Mrs Old said he kept calling from the other room that he wanted tea. (Someone) was in the kitchen with her, and Mr Old's voice did indeed call out that he wanted tea. She thought he was going senile because when she brought him the cups of tea, he was annoyed.

So what was happening?

Spoiler:

They had a parrot who lived in the hall, that you couldn't hear from the lounge but you could from the kitchen. It was the parrot calling out for tea, copying Mr Old

he makes his own tea
