So people are telling me that we should get a dog because it would be good for the kids. My response is usually something like, “I already have five monkeys living at home, why would I want a dog?” Most days, the way my kids act rival that of a crazy canine. Just tonight, for example, Chevy (2) yacked at the dinner table…on the dinner table. He had stuffed at least 8 grapes in his mouth after barely chewing a bite of sandwich. The sound effects were amazing–think of the Christmas Vacation scene where the dog is under the table yacking up a bone.
After dinner, we weren’t qick enough to put the Cheetohs away. Chevy walks by the table, grabs the corner of the bag and poof! Cheetohs all over the floor. I turn around to see him on his hands and knees, face first licking crunchy orange crumbs off the floor.
A little later Hudson comes downstairs with his play gun with laser. He turns the living room lights off and wiggles the red beam of light all around the floor. Chevy giggles and chases the red light until he falls on the floor. Is there any question why I do not have any longing for a dog?
Oh, that Chevy! Hilarious. Good to see you posting again. You need to update your bio – you have “mother of three young children”.
