A few days ago, Connor discovered that Buddy and Jessie have tails. First, it was Buddy's tail that he noticed. Buddy was standing in front of me - and Connor behind him. I was eating something so of course Buddy's tail was wagging in excitement for hopes of a crumb falling to his territory, the floor. I saw Connor's face light up when he noticed his newest game, Buddy's tail. He bent over and zoomed in to inspect this silly body part. He tried his best to grasp the 3 inch piece of fur. Giggling and squealing with delight. He couldn't catch it. At that point, I could see the wheels turning in his head, "If Buddy has a tail, then Jessie must have a tail too". He quickly ran over to Jessie, bent over and zoomed in on her tail. A smile and squeal quickly followed. He shrieked with the enthusiasm of someone who had just discovered the moon. Pointing with pride at Jessie's tail.
Could it be that all living things have tails? He would soon find out...
He ran over to my Mom, lifted her from off the floor where she was sitting, bent over, and zoomed in on her bum. He pointed to it with a curious look on his face.
"Humans don't have tails honey. Just animals."
...but don't ask me which animals.We all know I struggle with my animal trivia.
