Pestering Big Sister

Conversation at breakfast this morning: "When your children become smarter than you"

Frankie: Meow

Momma: Frankie wants out onto the porch

Annie: Is that what he said?

Momma: Yes, I think so. Cats can't talk, they can only say "meow". Animals can't say words.

Pause.

Annie: Parrots can say words, Momma.
