(From March 8th)

Mom’s dog Timmy usually leaves her cats alone but tonight he was trying to chase them out of her bedroom. I heard barking and I went in to see what was going on and caught him in the act with Mom standing by watching the circus. I scolded Timmy and told him to get on the bed. He ignored me. I told him to stop chasing the cats and he ignored me. Mom finally picked him up and placed him on the bed. I proceeded to lecture him to “stay up on that bed and leave those cats alone!” Mom looked and me wryly and said “So how’s his English?”
