Every few days I tweet about having been caught by a neighbor while on a walk with Charlie saying absurd things. Here are some of the regulars:
This looks like the best bush for a pee!
No, Charlie, you're not a cow. No! How many stomachs do you have? One. So stop eating the grass!
Charlie, that's a rock. That's not a rabbit. Calm down.
Do you have a poop in you?
You don't even want to know what I say to Charlie when we're in the house. I mean, I told you about some of the singing; sometimes we have actual conversations together. Well, I have the conversation, anyway. For instance, when I'm making a meal and he looks up at me with those eyes that say "Please, gentle lady, I have never ever eaten before in my whole life and I'm too sweet to die of starvation so please would you share a morsel with me in the name of Christian charity?" I tell him, in the words of Paul, "Love is patient, love is kind." And then I give him some food. I'm actually kind of concerned that he thinks I'm totally weird. But that's what happens when you have a little one in the family! Speaking of, have you seen these graphics that Nathan Ripperger created to illustrate the ridiculous things he says to his children? They're too funny - and they hit too close to home!
