The Little Girl and the Dog

by Tiger Tom

Once a little girl was on her way to visit her grandmother. She had to pass through a bad neighborhood, where she saw a spotted dog with long ears and a big slobbery tongue lapping up somebody's garbage. . The dog asked, "Are you taking that bag of goodies to your grandma?" 

"Yes," said the little girl.

When the little girl got to Grandma's, she got the key from under the flower pot, let herself in, and headed for Grandma's bedroom. Thirty feet from the bed she caught on that it wasn't her grandma in bed but the same big, ugly spotted dog with a slobbery tongue and a stupid expression that she had seen gulping garbage.

Not being a nitwit, the little girl said: "Grandma, I have to pee pee then I have some goodies for you." She stepped into the bathroom, took a cell phone from her goodies basket and called 911. While she was waiting for help, she engaged Spot in a long, pointless conversation about the size of his teeth and his ears and his tongue. By the time Animal Control arrived, the slow-witted canine believed that he was really the little girl's grandmother. He tried to tell them they were making a big mistake as they hauled him off to the kennel of no return.

As soon as Spot was gone, the little girl's grandma returned from the mall. The little girl helped her strip the bed, deodorize the room, and spray for fleas. Then they sat down to some cookies and soy milk and had a good long laugh about how stupid dogs are.

The Moral: Dogs aren't as good as wolves at fooling little girls and their grandmas.
