What can YOU say in six sentences?
No matter what he points to, asking his kid what it is, the answer’s always the same.
“What’s this?” he asks.
“Pee dog,” says the son.
“I think you’re a pee dog,” he teases, after his son says pee dog for about the millionth time.
Later, when it’s time for lunch, they unpack a stack of pee dog sandwiches and a thermos full of pee dog soup, open up a couple pee dog Snapples and have at it in real pee dog style, munching and slurping away in a companionable pee dog silence, the first since their arrival.
He seems like a pretty good pee dog dad.

Comment by Cita on June 6, 2012 at 11:05am LOVE. My daughter used to play chess by randomly taking away her opponent's (big brother's) pieces. He was so ernestly trying to learn to play "for reals" that he would say, "Why did you take that one?" and she would say, "For a reason." That phrase became a stock phrase for our family.
Comment by Angela on June 6, 2012 at 8:08am Warmed me up.
I laughed through every word of this. Ain't life great when you least expect it? I used to say to my then two year old, "Good morning, Sweetie". So she started saying to me, "Good moring seaweed." And they're so genuine it's that much sweeter. Great six.
Comment by Kristine_ES on June 5, 2012 at 9:06pm i love it when kids get on a phrase like this. it can be annoying but it's still funny, YEARS after they forget saying it. like "mement truck" .
Comment by Gita on June 5, 2012 at 7:46pm I hope this is about a three-year-old. You know, rather than a 14- year- old.
It's both tender and annoying. Well done.
