Really cute. The dog can't read. And he doesn't mind sour milk. In fact, he prefers it. So there, Granny. Mind your own biz and worry about your OWN milk. I use things after they've expired and haven't died yet. Except for meat and fish. The dates are really important there, for old stuff can make you really sick.

Oh so cute. I have a son who won't use anything if the expiration date is tomorrow. It's just too close. I judge it by what's in the mixture. Chicken fish, eggs, things like that I won't mess with, but it if's got vingar and stuff, I'll let it go a day or two. I wish you the best of luck.

Gotta love kids! And a great entry in the contest.

A couple of points if that's okay. The title should be: 'From the mouths of babes' or maybe 'from the mouth of a babe'.

Kneeling down, Mom asked, "Why is that sweetheart?" - comma after 'that'

Good luck with this.

I just love little kids. They somehow always have a clever and witty thing to say. The story read as if two friends were sitting somewhere talking and one friend.

    Thanks for reading and your kind and generous review. I loved the picture. It was actually called bathing buddies. We are so lucky to be able to find world class photography right on our site! I will keep writing. Check out my latest novel, www.therabbitbook.com

That's a great one. Great picture you found also. Did you know that fifty years ago or more there was a book by Art Linkletter called "Kids say the darndest things?" I enjoyed the ending here - what a punch line.

Hi Bhogg,
Kids are so cute, and very practical. This little story made me laugh.
I love their innocence and their sincerity. Of course she is right, how would the dog know if it can't read. LOL
Great story.
