So I looked over and saw Paul bending over one of our dogs and shoving her tail into his mouth.
Sentences That Never Came Out Of My Mouth Before I Had Kids #317 - "Get the dog's tail out of your mouth. What are you thinking?"
Paul shrugged. "I don't know."
"Why are you doing that? Why are you snacking on the dog's tail?"
Paul giggled. "I wasn't eating the tail, Mawma. I was just tasting it."
"But why? Why? Why do you want to taste the dog's tail?"
Paul shrugged again. "I don't know."
And there you have the full, unauthorized explanation that seems to work for almost any situation my boys' get into...."I don't know why."
The other acceptable explanation would be "because it was there."
Seriously....I never had to tell Rachel to get the bird or ferret out of her mouth. NEVER.
Was it Chewy? That poor dog's dignity has been assaulted so many times. Maybe when Mokki jumped him back when, his self-image was shattered. Paul? Somehow tail-tasting doesn't shock me for him. Shocking is when he pokes you and tells he just wants to say "I wuv you Ganny". THAT was shocking, but won me over. Go with God, girl.
