Imagine My Horror

Once again, the standard Wonder Pet required reading.

At any rate: Linney the Wonder Pet--known as "Winnie" in our household--is a guinea pig. I only learned this after reading the official Wonder Pet bios (see link above). I originally told Anna that Winnie was a hamster. As someone who has never owned a rodent, the wheel thingy that he runs around in seemed like a complete hamster no-brainer to me. Oh well.

Since this has now become such a huge part of our lives, I thought I should let her know the truth: Winnie's not a hamster; he's a guniea pig. She thought about this for a minute but seemed OK with it. Wow, that was easy.

If you haven't heard, in our house Jack is Wonder Pet Winnie, Anna is Ming-Ming, I am Tuck, and Thomas seems to be in the Wonder Pet auxiliary and is officialy named "Winnie to Winnie".

So later that day I am getting dinner ready and I hear (in a supremely kind and loving voice):

"Jaaaaaaack, you piiiiiig!"

And I knew exactly where she got that from.
Jack is Winnie. Winnie is a guinea pig. Therefore, Jack is a guinea pig.
The "guinea" part must not have seemed that important.

So I suppose I should be thrilled with her grasp of syllogism (or some word like that).
Now she just needs to get the adjective thing down.

Guinea. guinea. Jack's a guinea pig.
