{Conversations}

One evening while Matthew was telling me all about his exciting day at vet school...

Matthew: It was a CRAZY day!
Me: Oh yeah?
Matthew: For sure. Just as I was leaving they decided to remove the forelimbs of this dog.
{Cue confused and terrified expression on my face.}
Me: WHAT?!
Matthew: Yeah, they had to get rid of them.
Me: But but but...all four limbs? What's the point of that? He'll be a nugget!
Matthew:...What?
Me: You said they will be removing the dog's four limbs. That's so sad! Why do you think this is okay?!
Matthew:...Baaaabe. Nooooo. Forelimbs. FORElimbs...his front legs.
Me: Oh...OH!
{Cue relief and slightly put-off attitude.}
Me: Well. You know how I feel about vet-speak in the house.
