An Unfortunate Conversation in Which I Am Thankful for There Being No Visuals to Explain

Jack: What is that noise?
Me: It's a cat. Or two.

(A minute or two passes in which I begin hoping he is distracted.)

J: What is the kitty doing?
Me: ...Singing?

(Jack moves on to talking about something else, but really, it's getting hard to ignore.)

J: Daddy, I don't think that kitty is singing.
Me: No? Sure it is! Cat's like to sing. Especially in the spring.
J: No, he is yelling, "OW! OW! OW!"

Ha! That happened with the lions last time we visited the Cleveland Zoo. Thankfully, Elle's still too young to ask questions. She just commented that they were playing!
