(First Monday morning conversation…) Wee Boy: oh Sophie. (Our dog) you are just so cute and sexy and hot!
Me: hey dude, sexy and hot aren’t terms you use to describe a dog
Wee Boy: why not?
Me: do you know what they mean?
Wee Boy: that she’s pretty
Me: well kind of but not exactly. You’ll learn more about that stuff in the next couple of years. Just trust me that those are terms you only use for humans. Seriously, don’t call Sophie ‘sexy’ in front of your friends dude. You say she’s pretty and stuff.
Wee Boy: will my friends laugh at me?
Me: yeah especially once you’re in junior high.
