Don’t Be A Neigh-Sayer
(My 3-and-a-half-year-old son is watching TV, when a cartoon about a hippo comes on.)
Son: “Mommy, do hippos have tails?”
Me: “Yes, baby.”
Son: “Mommy, what other animals have tails?”
Me: “Lots. Dogs, cats, pigs, cows, horses.”
Son: “Horses moo!”
Me: “You’re silly, horses don’t moo!”
Son: “Horses moo! Horses moo!”
(He continues saying ‘Horses moo!’ over and over while laughing hysterically for about a full minute.)
Son: “Horses moo!” *makes a sad face* “Aww.”
Me: “What’s wrong?”
Son: “It wasn’t funny that time.”
