Dogs Do Talk

I swear, this came out of my kids mouth this morning.

It was an interesting conversation. Went a little something like this.

B - Mommy, Lolo's dog threw up yesterday on the floor.
Me - Really? Did she get the dog to leave the room.
B - She tried. But we do not throw up on the floor.
Me - Where do we throw up at.
B - The toilet.
Me - That is right. We throw up in the toilet. (Am I really having this conversation with a 4 year old?)
B - When Lolo's dog learns how to talk, he can tell us when he has to throw up and he can then go to the toilet.
Me - Dogs don't know how to talk. They just bark.
B - No Mommy, they do talk. I know that when they get bigger they learn how to talk.
Me - Name three dogs for me that can talk.
B - Mommy, didn't you see Fox and the Hound? When they got bigger they learned how to talk.

I lost it. That was hysterical. The logical mind of a child is simply incredible.

It was not until later that morning that he pieced together that dogs can talk to each other and not to humans. They only bark to humans. And he got that from watching Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Hope that brightened your day as much as it did mine.
