HOLY COW!!!
Okay, so I am guilty of not paying attention to my youngest son today. I was working on the computer and he yapped and yapped and yapped so after a bit (shamefully, maybe only five minutes) I tuned him out so I could finish my work.

About ten minutes later, he came over and apologized. I got "Star Wars" and "Dog" but wasn't paying attention again - my bad! He started to get his just-before-the-crying-jag pouty face and I turned away from the computer and looked at him. "What was that, honey?"

"I sorry," said the teary-eyed little man.

"For?"

"Star Wars in her."

"WHAT?"

Said child was apologizing for poking the puppy in the butt with a Star Wars toy. I fought between laughter and fear as I calmly asked what toy he poked the dog with (and wonder how I was going to explain a miniature light saber up my poor dog's butt to the vet).

He runs into the other room and brings back one of the ships - the 16 inch ship with a long pointy tip. I cringed, said a mental apology to the dog then ran to the sink to douse the ship and child's hands with Ivory soap. SHEESH!!!

Moral: (why so many lately???) when the child is yapping pay attention or the dog will be yapping!
