The little girl who growled

My wife always hears the best (and most bizarre) conversations. Take yesterday's at a neighborhood park as she was watching nephew number three.

Young girl to nephew number three: "Grrrrrrr."
Mom: "Do we have to leave? I've told you before to stop growling at people."

Hmm. If at six years old your child growls at strangers, you as a parent just might have an interesting road ahead of you.

I always have to tell my daughter to stop licking, but she's only two. At 6 I'd definitely worry.

As will the child who does the growling...

Something tells me that this parent is on a first name basis with the school's principal.

Oh, that's nothing. I was a biter. And since I was at exactly ass-height, I would bite people on the ass. I bet that was an interesting road for my folks.

Growling is better than biting, kicking, or obscenity screaming. I have to say, they have it pretty good so far if the kid is just growling.

Maybe they should cut down on the dog treats in her diet...

SO true. I still growl at strangers. My poor mom.

My son is 3 and he barks occasionally. He thinks he's a dog...
