Jackson and Zachary's Words of Wisdom
Zachary Talks to the Animals
The boys were on Spring Break from school and, as usual, they were
in the office playing on the other computer while I was trying to
work one evening. Strange things seem to go through Zachary's
mind and you never know what he will say or when.
"Dad, Bailey knows how to talk", he told me.
"Oh, really", I answered.
"Yeah", continued, "I asked Bailey if he wanted to come in and
he nodded his head 'yes'. I saw him do it".
"Oh, that's good", I replied, "Can you tell Bailey to stop pooping
on the patio?".
