I didn’t lie about it

As a 4 year old living in your typical Dog Show Family, one is subjected to many, many things in conversation, in actions and in everyday duties. We have a Ford passenger van that we use to go to “most” dog shows with. I say “most” because we haven’t had anything to really show in over a year now, so it’s parked in the driveway and used for crate storage, the trips to the vet when more than one dog is involved and when it’s necessary to move big objects like a new bed, a new washer, a new hot water heater and I could go on. So Brenna thinks that all big vans are “Dog Show” vans. And it always comes out in public places, like McDonald’s, very loud and boisterous.

“Look, mom, they have a Dog Show van too!!!!”

That’s when I get the stares, like, “What the hell is she talking about?” because it’s the van that just exited the drive-thru. So the world has many Dog Show vans…..to her. And though we haven’t really had any problems yet with this, I just know the “bitch” word is going to come out and it’s going to offend someone, somewhere in time. It’s such a common word around here. I try to refrain saying it to pet puppy buyers for fear I will offend them. I’ve warned the babysitter about this word and I know someday it will come out and a wrong impression will be had.

So, a couple of weeks ago at the dinner table, Brenna came out with a question that a typical 4 year old little girl wouldn’t ask.

“Mom, how did Polly get the puppies in her tummy?”

Excuse me while I clean that piece of chicken up that I just spit out across the kitchen….It was one of those moments where I was saying in my head, “Seriously? She’s asking me THIS?” And she just looks at you, waiting for the magical answer that I really didn’t have. Or did I? Before Matt could say anything, I blurted it out:

“Dr. Judd put them there.”

“Why’d she do that?”

“Because Polly was ready to have puppies.”

“Oh, okay.”

And not one bit of that was a lie! How genius am I? I didn’t get into specifics about exactly HOW it’s really done, but enough said. Oh, I’m singing the praises of AI right now!
