Do Dogs Talk?

 Little Miss:  Mom, Can dogs talk?

Me: No honey, dogs cannot talk. Have you ever seen a dog talk?

Little Miss:  Yes. Martha talks. 

Me: Martha? from “Martha Speaks”? 

Little Miss: Yes!

Me: But she isn’t real honey. She’s a drawing. She’s not a real dog.

Little Miss:  Mooooooooooommmmmmm!  Of course she is real! You silly.
