I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Sweetie: Lady Human, the big fan is off.
Me: I know. Tall Man is checking the breaker box. He thinks there’s a problem with a bearing.
Doodlebug: Breaker. Box. Bearing. Huh?
POP!
Sweetie: Whoa! Whoa! Sparks from the fan! Fireworks inside! No way! Not allowed!

Baby and Bud: Aaacckk! Aaacckk! Cool! Pretty!
Me: It’s okay. Just some sparks. They’re out now. Goodbye, ceiling fan.
Doodlebug: Fans don’t shoot off fireworks. Even I know that.

MoonCat: Oh, the joys of human invention!
