Kids and Dogs
Spent the weekend out of town with some college friends, including a three-year-old and two dogs. Here’s a sample of what constituted about 70% of conversation this weekend:
“No, no, no, no!! Bad boy/dog!!”
“What do you have in your mouth? Take that out of your mouth right now!”
“Go play in the livingroom, the grownups/humans are trying to talk.”
[CRASH!!!] “What now?”
“Uh, [name of host], I’m sorry but [name of dog/boy] just broke your [treasured family heirloom].”
“Yuck, you’re slobbering on my arm.”
“Oh my god! Where’s [name of boy/dog]?? Has anyone seen [name of boy/dog]?!”
“[Name of boy/dog], leave the nice man alone. No, no, no! No biting!”
“Uh-oh. [Name of boy/dog] just peed/shat/puked on the couch/wall/suitcase.”
“[Name of boy/dog]!!!! Get your hand out of/stop drinking from the toilet!!!”
. . .
Dear friends, I love you all, including [names of dogs and kid], but give me cats any day of the week.
