Multiplying

JR has found a show on animal planet that has H's full attention...a show about collies. HT can't take his eyes off the show, and I'm hearing lots of "aw, how cute" coming from him. It explained how smart the dogs are and even showed how one does math. The owner/breeder said to the dog, "What is 3 times 2?" and the dog barked six times. I said to HT, "Wow, that dog is really smart." And HT responded, "yes, that dog multiplies!" JC (who apparently wasn't paying any attention) said, "of course they multiply. They have babies, and those babies grow up to have babies." Clearly irritated, HT said, "Not that kind of multiplying. They do MATH." JC was astonished, as, to be honest, she can barely handle math herself. Then HT went on to add, "Of course, if they are girls, they do the other kind of multiplying too." I so love being around to hear these conversations!
