Dog Stabber.
I was in Audrey’s prep class today, showing them the double bass. Audrey was playing a leading role in procedings up at the front with me, constantly stepping forward with information of all kinds, without necessarily paying close attention to the truth.
I was explaining that the string family is like our family – with 4 children, from the smallest (Audrey, the violin) to the largest (Paige – double bass). Audrey leaped in with:
Audrey: We have Eric [much loved ex pooch], too!”
Me: No, Eric died, remember?
Audrey: Yes, Erics legs stopped working, so Daddy stabbed him.
I got the strangest look from Shae, Audrey’s teacher! Even after I told her that Eric had been euthenased by a vet, she didn’t look 100 percent convinced!
