Dinner Time conversation - Dogs!

So we had a very interesting conversation for dinner tonight.  But before I go into the conversation, you first need to know that we have a very HUGE golden retriever named Ginger.  She is so huge because for some reason my husband likes to feed her human food and not just let her live off of dog food (which is highly recommended by any Veterinarian or dog lover out there.)  I enjoy having Ginger around even though she does wake me up numerous times in the night with her outrageous snoring!  But my husband, he loves his Ginger!  He walks up to her first thing when he comes home from work.  His normal phrase is "Oh, my precious!"  Yes, I am serious!

(Ginger and our little guy Finn)

Like normal, I spent at least an hour preparing and cooking dinner for my family (even with a horrible headache!.)  I finally got most of them downstairs and the little ones were starving so I served them up their dinner so we could get started.  After sitting down at the table, my husband comes downstairs, picks up a plate, puts a huge amount of food on a plate, then proceeds to put the food in front of Ginger on the floor.  I could feel myself almost ready to leap into action but I learned a long time ago that doesn't work with him.  I did voice my opinion and told him that it makes me very upset that he wastes the food I make for the family on the dog (and personally it offends me).  Then of course, I had to compare it to us eating dog food because human food is as bad for dogs as dog food is to humans.  He might have understood that a little more than just my nagging for once!

The next part is what cracked me up and I wanted to share!

11 year old:  Yea, Ginger is so fat!  What would she do in a Zombie Apocalypse?   She would get eaten immediately (indicating she is too fat to run for cover).

8 year old:  She would just be eaten.

11 year old:  Well, I guess we could use her to get to some of them.  We could go to the top of a hill and roll her down.  That would take care of a lot of them.  She is so big she would just squish them all and then she will be okay.

8 year old:  I don't think so because then the one at the bottom of the hill would just get her anyhow because she couldn't go anywhere.   They will get her anyhow.

I really do not get them sometimes but then they come up with some pretty hilarious scenarios.  They go through this type of banter numerous times a day if they are around each other.  It is sometimes so funny that I actually have to laugh out loud and then they think they are so funny (which they are) and try to outdo one another.   All my other boys were similar in their scenarios building skills and I just think it is hilarious how a boys brain works sometimes.

I have to say that living with boys is completely different than living with girls (yes, once upon a time I did live with girls, they are called sisters).  Boys have a completely different mindset.  Sometimes it can be so funny that you can not believe the things they come up with.  Maybe next week I will have to record one of the conversations my 13 year old and his friend has on the way home from school.  They just leave me in stitches.  They are so goofy!
