Yesterday afternoon I witnessed this in my very own family room. It seemed normal at the time, but looking back on it I’m not so sure.

Dog: *scoops something off of floor, trots off*

Baby: “No, no, no!”
*chases dog*

Me: “Dog, it’s a rock, why do you want it?”

Baby: “No, no, drop, drop, drop!”

Dog: *wags tail*

Baby: *bops dog on the head*
“Drop it!”

Dog: *drops*

Me: “It’s a rock, why do you want it?”

Baby: *scoops up her prize and runs to her brother*
“Here!”

Brother: “Look, a crystal!”

Dog: *wags tail*
