I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.
Me: Whoa there! Don’t put your foot on the rim of that bucket.
Sweetie: What bucket should I put my foot on?
Me: No bucket at all. It could get tumped over.
Doodlebug: Tumped over? Cool!
Me: No, not cool. It would make yet another mess to clean up.
Sweetie: What can I tump over then?
MoonCat: It’s not the tumping. It’s the mess. Tump something empty all you want to, but stay away from my tunafish.
Sweetie: Great! Thanks!
Me: Wait just a doggone minute. Who’s in charge here?
MoonCat: Oh, Lady Human, that question was answered a long time ago.
