My silly (but worldly) kids...

We were getting silly at dinner last night, and at one point I asked my kids the classic question from Stand By Me (or, for you purists, from The Body by Stephen King): "Micky's a mouse, Donald's a duck, Pluto's a dog. What's Goofy?"

They, of coures, replied, "He's a dog!"

So I said, "But Pluto's a dog. What's Goofy?"

Finally Grace got exasperated with her mother's stupidity, and (very patiently) said, "Mom. Micky and Minnie are both mice. Donald and Daisy are both ducks. Pluto and Goofy are both dogs."

At which point Peter cried out, "Hey, Pluto and Goofy are gay!!!"
