A short conversation...

Some of the most interesting conversations occur in my van, while I'm driving kids from one activity to the next. Today for example:

Me: Well, actually, I guess cats *CAN* lick people. If a cat licks you, you'll feel that their tongue feels scratchy, kind of like sandpaper.

Josie (shouting): GET RABIES!

My kids have a little not-so-nice song they sing in Spanish about cats. Sarah finally saw the cat I've been bitching about for the last 2yrs. It's really gross! You know I'm VERY dramatic. I think I'll tell my kids if they touch the cat they will DIE!
