On canine diets.

[livejournal.com profile] babyrapture is becoming quite erudite as he approaches the end of his fourth year. Today, he informed me that [livejournal.com profile] jericho_the_dog is scary because he has very large sharp teeth. I explained that dogs have teeth because wild dogs often ate a lot of meat. I explained that Jericho isn't wild, so he doesn't need to tear into meat very often, but that he still has sharp teeth because his ancestors did. [livejournal.com profile] babyrapture looked concerned. I told him he wasn't made out of meat, so not to worry. I insisted that Jericho doesn't eat children and that we can see his teeth simply because he smiles all the time. Well, [livejournal.com profile] babyrapture is quite sure Jericho *does* eat children. And he claimed that he was so hot, Jericho might want to eat him.

With that, he took off down toward the supermarket and I had to scramble to catch up to him before the Pepsi truck driver bundled him up into a soda machine.

Ah, go on.... Surely babyrapture is made out of meat....

He's not my child and I'm not allowed to insinuate that he's roastable. ;) Plus, he's afraid of dogs, so we're trying to coax him into not being so leery. If I tell him he's made of meat, he'll have nightmares and [livejournal.com profile] audiorapture and [livejournal.com profile] ez_mo will never get any sleep.

Jonathan Swift would be so proud of this post

A Babyburger chain would solve the world's problems. And be very yummy.

Anytime somebody seems leary of Ozzi, I tell them not to worry, he's been fed today. :)

I hope you haven't told him about cats yet...
