Song of the Basenji

DaGoddess @ 18:10

“What do you want me to sound like?” Little Dude asked.

“How about a fish,” I suggested. It had been motormouth city since I’d picked him up from school. Two hours later, I was pretty much at my limit.

“Okay. Fish done. What now? What do you want me to sound like now?”

“A butterfly, please.”

“Mom, you just keep picking quiet things! That’s not fair.”

I smiled. “Yes, it is!”

After twenty minutes of this game, he begged and pleaded for a cat or dog to imitate.

“Okay, be a Basenji.”

Needless to say, the next few minutes were full of breed discription and silent glaring.

I thought it was hysterical.

By the way, what’s green and sings?

Apropos of nothing, from the creator of comes poetc.com. It’s really cool!
