He's Listening!!!

David and our dog, Sydney, have a love-hate relationship. She is the sweetest dog ever but for some reason David likes to give her a hard time. Lately he has been calling her "ornery and mean".

A couple of nights ago, Matthew and I were playing in his sandbox in the backyard before dinner. Sydney came up to Matthew, as she always does, and licked his face.  This conversation followed:

Matthew: Quit it dog! You're ornery and mean.
Me: What did you just say???
Matthew: Dog is ornery and mean mommy.
Me: Son, don't listen to what your father says.
