I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Me: Okay, how come the blank stares?

Sweetie: Blank?
Doodlebug: Stares? Like the ones we walk up and down? I hate those.
Me: Blank stares as in you look like you don’t have a thought in your heads. Empty noggins.
Sweetie: I don’t have a noggin.
Doodlebug: Me either. You didn’t see me take one. Or did you? If I did, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to take anyone’s noggin.
Me: An empty noggin is an empty head.
Sweetie: My noggin’s not empty. I have lots of snot in it.

MoonCat: That explains an awful lot.
