We haven’t made any progress on the house pet front, but the ongoing negotiations are encouraging. We do have some further details on why Christopher is insisting on a dalmatian.
Mama: What about a beagle. They’re cute and have such floppy ears.
Christopher: But beagles are brown. I want a dalmatian that’s black and white. Black and white are my favorite colors.
Mama: Why is that?
Christopher: Black is in the German flag and white is in the American flag. So a dalmatian is German and American, just like me.
Can’t argue with that logic.

I bet you can be happy that his favorite colours aren’t yellow and blue, by the same logic.
That is too cute! He has to have one!
Very nice logic. I love those moments of parental discovery. That’s what he’s been trying to tell me all along.
