Seeing The Nine-Year-Old tucking Rusty in for the night this week, reminded me of this gem from March 2012…
The Build-a-Bear Lady, preparing to sew up The Five-Year-Old’s new dachshund at the store’s stuffing station: “Do you know if your puppy is a boy or a girl yet?”
The Five-Year-Old: “No.”
The Build-a-Bear Lady: “Well, do you have a name picked out for your puppy yet?”
The Five-Year-Old: “Rusty the Narcoleptic Dog.”
Daddyo: “Rusty has narcolepsy?”
The Five-Year-Old, retrieving her dachshund from a stunned Build-a-Bear lady: “I’m not sure yet.”
Carrying him over to the bath area, The Five-Year-Old stands Rusty up for his bath. Suddenly she knocks Rusty on to his side and makes snoring sounds.
The Five-Year-Old, diagnostically: “Yep, he’s narcoleptic alright.”
