The things kids say....

Was out walking with my son today and we walked past a house with a woman and a rottie sitting in their front garden.

Myles (5) exclaims "Oh look Mammy, it's a Bear!"

I laughed and said, "Oh yes, so it is!" then the woman came over and said (with a sarcastic tone in her voice (I assume aimed at me agreeing that it was a 'Bear'), "No sweetheart he's not a Bear, he's just a dog.

I can understand really what she thought but my son was not to be sniffed at on his uber dog knowledge and he piped up, "I know that it's a dog, it's a rottweiler, we have one that we are looking after, he's called Bear!"

Luckily the woman saw the funny side and apologised saying she is just so protective over him lately, I said I understand totally and i'd have probably done the same if I thought a child was calling bear a bear and his mum agreeing, lol!

Least it made up both smile in the end!

PMSL at your post, funny how protective we get over our dogs isn't it xxxxxxxxxxx

lol@ that... nice to see everyone smileing at the end of it

did you not mention my bearwilers???? huh huh,, that would have given her something to think on

Good for Myles! Bless him

How funny and I would have loved to have seen her face when your son gave his explanation

I know, i'd have been the same mind!

hahaa no surprisingly I didn't, I think she'd have been concerned for my mental wellbeing.

Thank Vicki, he's a little star, especially when it comes to dogs. Totally my fault, he knows more breeds than most adults round here.

She was clearly embarrassed for jumping to the wrong conclusion but we all had laugh about it!

lmao bless him!

brilliant !!

clever myles

how comical I'd have laughed out loud when Myles said that
