These ARE The Droids You’re Looking For

Our dog has just had a litter of four puppies. Our children know we will be putting them up for adoption soon, but love having them around during this extra-cute stage, and have decided to name them.

My sister has brought her kids over to see the puppies (and maybe adopt two of them for her own kids) and is asking about them.

Sister: “I heard your kids named them?”

Me: “Yes, these are the two boys, R2, and D2.”

Sister: *Pauses.* “Oh, yeah, your kids are into Star Wars.”

Me: “Yeah.”

Sister: “And let me guess, the girl pups are C3 and PO?”

Me: “We were going to go with that, but the last one just became ‘Pee’ because… well, if you adopt her… you’ll find out… as will every corner of your sofa.”

Both my sisters ended up adopting all the dogs (two boys in one household and two girls in the other) for their respective kids. Puppy ‘Pee’ went back to being ‘PO” after some good training.
