So Aidan and I were hanging out the other day, and Jack (the big brown lab) was nearby, and we were talking about him. We've been having some trouble with Jack and Neuf peeing in the house, but generally Jack is a really good dog. We proceeded to have this conversation...
Aidan - "I love Jack."
Me - "Well, that's because you don't have to clean up his pee and poop."
Aidan - "But I can't."
Me - (Incredulous snort) "And why is that?" (A lot things that Aidan doesn't want to do lately he simply attributes to "I caaaaaaaan't.")
Aidan - "Because my shirt isn't big enough."
Me - "...What? How does that have anything to do with cleaning up dog poop?"
Aidan - "My shirt's not big so it won't reach up to cover my nose like Dada's shirt does."
Classic.
My other favorite thing he said was the other day when we were in the dentist's office waiting for people to stick pointy things into my mouth. Out of the blue he says,
"Al Pal, I love you."
Awwwwwwwwwwwww! I was so touched. It wasn't the first time he'd said that he loves me, but it was so random and so sweet. Unfortunately, it was somewhat eclipsed about 30 seconds later when he put his hand out to the wall, sighed, and said,
"I love this wall."
Ok, so I'm on par with the wall at the dentist's office. Hey, at least I'm loved.
