#daddy comments

please refrain from daddy comments in my BEN BARNES posts!

use the tags for this. thank you

Backstory: we've got a puppy who's about 4 months old and thanks to the heat he is sometimes very reluctant to eat. So we play games with him in order to get him to eat, much like you do that "here comes the airplane" with human children. And one of his favourite games is the one where we poke around in the food with a stick and say "look, the stick's eating your food"

Now here's what happened today

family's out on the porch having dinner

my sister's finished so she takes it upon herself to get our puppy to eat

My sister: Look, Messi! Look! The stick's eating your food!

My dad: Yes, and if the stick eats all the food it will become a branch!

I laughed so that I fell off my chair and then kept laughing for another ten minutes and while I did that Messi (our puppy) looked at me as if I'd gone insane.
