Me: Nell, come and look at them sleeping.
Nell: No, thank you.
Me: But just look at those dear little faces.
Nell: No.
Me: They are adorable.
Nell: That wasn’t what you were saying a few minutes ago.
Me: I know.
Nell: It was more like “You puppies are driving me mad!”
Me: Well, they were but I still love them.
Nell: They need to learn to listen and you just spoil them.
Me: They are only 8 weeks old, Nell. You are very harsh with them.
Nell: They chewed my tail.
Me: Yes, that was naughty.
Nell: They tried to bounce me.
Me: Yes.
Nell: Several times.
Me: I know.
Nell: I checked on them earlier by the way.
Me: You did?
Nell: They are family.
Me: And you love them.
Nell: I’ve told you before. Quit while you’re ahead.
Me: Yes. Sorry.
