My 12 year old is convinced......

JustTess

..... he wants to be a dog because:

• They don't have to go to school.
  They can lay around all day
  They get to pee on a tree
  They get to eat out of a bowl on the floor
  He can chase Ilya around the house and wrestle all day
  Thinks there's only two things he needs to know from humans... they are happy or they are mad
  Use puppy dog eyes to get what he wants from silly unimmune humans
  No, homework, grade check, brushing own teeth, picking up room.
  Say hello to relatives by sticking out tongue.

I think he had too much winter vacation and he's ready to go back to school.

Sigh... and this all started when Ilya marked his bed and I told him he wasn't allowed to pee on Ilya's bed because he wasn't a dog.

Now that is funny

Your 12 year old is an absolute genius and couldn't have argued his point better

JustTess

I did suggest he could train his dog Lola to pick up his dirty laundry for him, then he wouldn't have to do it.

I shoulda thought of that when i was 12

You've got to hand it to him; those are some pretty good reasons! You better be careful because you've got one smart kid there.

JustTess

Oh, Thank you TeddieXRuxpin.

When I prayed for a smart child, I didn't know what I was getting myself into.

There are days when I want to be a dog for some of the same reasons. But mainly so I could just eat, sleep, and play all day.

Sounds like a fun kid.
