Luke's wisdom

"Sophie! Do you have to lay right in the middle of the floor!"

This from me as I tripped over Sophie while cleaning up lunch today.

I knew what was coming next.  My children would chastise me.  I didn't have long to wait.

"Mom, I don't like it when you are mean to Sophie. She's old!" This from Sadie.

"Yeah, Mom! I don't like it either." This from Luke.

I responded, "I am not mean to her. She is just in my way. I don't understand why she needs to be in the middle of the floor!"

Luke- "Mom, she is fat. She needs to lay down!"

Me- "She doesn't need to lay down in the middle of the floor!"

Luke- "Don't be mean Mom."

Me- "She doesn't even understand me when I say those things. She doesn't even know what I am saying and that she is bugging me!"

Luke- "Yes, she does.  She knows English, Mom. She is an English Bulldog, not a German Bulldog."

You can't make this stuff up.
