Mother Dog

This morning Tyson was watching "Babe" on TV while I was putting the baby down for a nap.  He loves the mornings we don't have work to do and he can watch a show and lounge around.  He came in to Andie's room with a frown on his face.

Me:  Why are you cranky?
Tyson:  I don't like the scary dog.  Can you skip over him?
Me:  Of course.
Tyson:  I like the Mother Dog.  I want to watch her.  She is just like you.

Now I have a huge smile, my heart swelling with pride that he has made a connection and sees her as a nuturing and loving mother, taking care of her children.

Me:  That's so nice, how is she like me?
Tyson:  She eats dog food.
Me:  Oh.......Sigh.
