Return of Tuna

I wish I could remember what prompted me to remind Liam of this, but somehow I brought up the fact that when he was little, Liam had an imaginary dog named "Tuna". It was a dalmation, and watching him walk it and talk to it was pretty darned cute.

Liam didn't remember this at first, but then it seemed to ring a bell, and the next thing I know, Liam declared that he again had an imaginary dog name Tuna. He then instructed Finn that he needed one, too. And suggested that Finn also have a dalmation. I suggested that Finn think for himself, but to now avail. Shockingly, Finn also decided to name his dalmation dog Tuna. Sigh.

For the remainder of the car trip, and then out at dinner, they spoke to, called, and scolded their dogs. It provided them with an excuse to speak nonstop to no one about nothing. At the same time. In the evening, Liam declared his Tuna could talk, and had its own potty in the bathroom. Tuna is pretty amazing. I kind of hoped Tuna would run away overnight.

As the boys got up this morning, I heard Liam calling, "Tuna! Tuna!" Alas.
