Dear Kid,
Somebody said yesterday that I am given to exaggeration. I prefer to think that I give exaggeration to the world.
Puppy: What does that mean?
Me: It means it means that when I said that dinner was the best meal I’ve ever eaten, it was really only the second best.
Puppy: So when you say I’m the best puppy in the world, I’m only second best?
Me: Of course you’re the best—I never exaggerate about you.
Some are born to exaggerate; some have exaggeration blogged upon them.
As I started thinking about exaggeration, I realized that there were zillions of words crashing around in brain, making it hard to even begin to consider concentrating.
Puppy: What does that mean?
Me: That I have a lot of words fighting for priority order in my brain
Puppy: Don’t you usually?
Me: Are you interested in being fed today?
Puppy: Napping. Saying nothing
That sounds like an excellent idea. I believe I shall take a 17 hour nap.
