Last night, Ally was watching a movie with me. Well, mainly I was watching the movie, and she was sitting on my lap interrupting occasionally and poking me in the eye, etc. I was watching "Meet the Fockers". There's a scene in the movie where a little dog is chasing a cat around, and the cat jumps on top of the toliet, and the dog jumps after him, and falls in the toliet. We all know what comes next, right? The dog gets flushed. OH. MY. GOD! Ally screamed her freakin' head off. I thought she had hurt herself. I asked what was wrong, and she sobbed "That doggie got fushed down the towet!!!!!" I had to try not to laugh. We had to have a conversation about real and pretend, and how doggie's can't really fit etc. She didn't really believe us though. We finally settled on "Let's watch some more and see what happens. I bet he's okay." Of course, it was an RV toliet, so it was blue water and all. The puppy turned blue. We used that to our advantage. Toliet water is not really blue, therefore the movie is not real. For the rest of the movie, she would occasionally ask me about the dog. and make sure to tell me he was okay... just in case I was worried.
