When I picked up Eddie from preschool, he was playing with a little girl called Kat.
On the bike ride home, I asked about her.
"Is Kat a kitty-cat?"
"No!" said Eddie. "She's a kid. Hey, you saw her when you picked me up, didn't you?"
"Oh, yeah, but I didn't look very closely," I said. "I thought you were a dog."
"No!" said Eddie. "I'm a boy. And I'm a human, and I'm a kid, and I'm your son, and I love you, and I like candy."
Wow, papa comes in before candy! Congratulations! And congratulations to Eddie, a human kid well on his way to fulfilling the prime directive: know thyself.
ReplyDeleteEddie has another CAT in the family besides Allie - Charlotte Anne Teuscher = CAT.
ReplyDeleteAnd, btw, if papa thought Eddie was a dog, he really DOES have facial recognition issues!
