an interesting conversation

Dennis was supposed to finish cleaning his room today. I was in bed most of the day with fever and cough, and he promised me he was going to finish up. But I wasn't too surprised when he popped out of his room late this afternoon and said "I was having a conversation with my bottom just now. Guess what it said?". I presumed his bottom told him not to clean his room. He told me "My bottom said that instead of cleaning my floor, it wanted to poop on it!". Nice. I think his bottom might be a bad influence.

In other news, Dennis found his elf in a sleigh hitched up behind a reindeer ornament. And tonight, he got up to go get water in the kitchen and caught Neely hanging out of the dog food container. Dennis made me get up to go see as well. The instructions he came with said to feed him crackers, but I don't know that he finds those to be substantial enough. Dog food? I guess if you're hungry enough...
