Harebrained – Conversations with the Pack

I am Doodlebug, King of the Olde English Bulldogges.

Me: Of all the harebrained schemes I’ve ever heard of, this takes the cake!

Sweetie: Lady Human, you are upset. Hair-brained? You mean there’s hair in our brains? Yuck! Now I’m upset!

Me: No, ‘hare’ as in a jackrabbit. I don’t guess you’ve ever seen one. To call something ‘harebrained’ means it’s foolish.

Doodlebug: Did you mention cake? I heard you say ‘cake’. Is that the prize for being a jackrabbit? I’ll be harebrained then.

MoonCat: Is there a prize for ignoring harebrained comments?
