The sliding door opens. My 4-year old daughter plops down and begins taking off her shoes.
“What are you doing? Are you staying in?” I ask.
“I’m a dog.”
“Oh. Why are you taking off your clothes?”
“Dogs don’t wear clothes.”
She stripped off her jeans and her shirt, adjusted her pink underpants and went back outside wearing only socks on her feet.

Guess what showed up on my living room floor two nights ago? The remote control. And it didn’t even bring me back a t-shirt as a souvenir!

Ah Ha! You have one of those invisible creatures in your house too! You know, the one that says “it wasn’t me”, “I didn’t do it”,”I wasn’t even there”, “it was (insert sibling name here), he always gets away with everything”—I thought we were the only house that had that mysterious creature that takes remotes, eyeglasses, keys, and on and on.

Thank goodness you have your remote back. We found an extra one here and I was beginning to think it was yours.

Luckily dogs evidently still have to wear underpants or you could really be in trouble.

We spent a summer at my MIL’s a few years back. THey have 3 english shepherds, (Think Babe the movie) and a smaller dog. At the end of a few weeks my kids thought they were dogs. MY son would run out of the house to chase cars and bark at them as they went up the driveway, and my daughter thought that puddles on the ground were a great source of drinking water. She would actually lean over and lick out of them, and eat the dog food, and hand feed all of the dogs while sitting in their food trough. We have “dogs” in our house too. 🙂
ps. Those are an amazing breed for having around toddlers, they are great, even herd them toward the house when they think they’re wandering to far on their own.

Ha! *My* kids brought the remote home from a visit to their grandmother’s house one Christmas. It was packed neatly into their suitcase, under the dirty clothes.
No big deal…except that she lives a four-hour drive away and couldn’t just hop into the car to come get it. (She told me to fumigate it before I mailed it to her, considering where it had been!)
Be glad yours didn’t make THAT trip.

I have a four-year-old who sounds a whole lot like yours. They’d get along quite well, I think. WOOF!
