photoFRIDAY: Talking to the Dog



Me: You shouldn't eat that.
Dog: It tastes good.
Me: In a few minutes you'll be yacking it up on the ground, or if I'm really lucky the carpet.
Dog: You know I can't understand you, right?
Me: Is that why you never listen to me?
Dog: I listen. Blah, blah, blah means maybe I should wag my tail. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! means I should look apologetic and possibly hide in the bathroom. This current tone of voice is unclassifiable so I am settling on looking mildly interested and proceeding with what I am doing.
Me: Okay, I'll just have to extend this walk until you yack up that grass.
Dog: My cunning plan works again.

That dog really can talk, you know... I mean, just look at that expression. ;)

I swear I've had the same conversation with my kids and gotten the same responses...
