Out of the mouths of (not necessarily wise or complimentary) babes and children

A: (looking at the outfit her father is wearing) "Those are all different browns! Your shirt isn't the same shade as your pants and your socks are a different shade than everything else!!! You look like ...like ...a dumpster that somebody half-painted and then walked away from!"

***************

B: (after hearing a story about how I enticed the puppy inside by repeating the word treat over and over again) "Good thing dogs are kinda stupid."

Least they are all shades of brown ... I am STILL trying to explain to the MOTH (and now, to K as well, as he is following his father's example) that you simply cannot wear beige or tan with grey !!!

When my dogs just won't "come" I change my tactic to "treat". They run to me like the winner takes all. I know it's bad training, but it works so well and I only use it sometimes. Does that make it ok?
