Makes You Want To Flea

(This story takes place when I am about 5 and have gone with my parents to take our dog to the vet.)

Me: *whispering* “I think that dog has fleas.”

(At this point, I look over at a German Shepherd and point to the bald patch on its neck. I had read online that square bald patches on a dog meant fleas.)

Mom: “That’s a bit rude.”

Me: “Okay.” *walks over to owner and talks loudly* “Does your dog have fleas?”

(Needless to say, Mom and Dad never took me to the vet’s with them again.)
