What actually goes on in pets heads…and toddler heads?
Like, is it The Secret Life of Pets when you leave your house? Do they actually talk to each other in normal voices and not the stupid ones I give them? I’ve watched Frozen with my daughter more than I’d like to admit lately, and every time Kristoff makes Sven talk, it seems so dumb…meanwhile I do it all the time.
It’s not weird, it’s entertainment for myself. And now I’ve caught my toddler doing it too, which is slightly concerning…but also hilarious. My husband and I have given these two dogs full personalities. Like they have their own lives at this point. I bet when we aren’t around, they’re talking shit about how crazy we are.
Also…what is going on in my toddlers head? When she’s just staring off into space…what is she thinking about? When she babbles something, then gets mad because I don’t understand her…like MOM, LISTEN — what did you even say??
When we go to the park or for a walk, what is she actually taking in? What words is she storing in her brain to randomly bust out in public…that I probably shouldn’t be saying around her but occasionally let slip? Is she plotting revenge for taking away her snacks? For putting her in time out? Is she holding in that poop until we get to a store…just because I wouldn’t let her keep playing at the park? Because it feels intentional.
These are the mysteries I think of, and I will never figure out. How the Dog Whisperer or the Super Nannys know what they’re doing is way beyond me. Props to them, I’d love to just wine-d down with one of these experts once to see how they figured this shit out.
