Preface: I was talking on the phone with my eight-year-old sister, Hannah. Hannah was describing her newly decorated room and house to me.
Hannah: "Blizzard (the Bearded-Collie) is really scared of the basement. She wont go down there at all".
Me: "Why do you think Blizzard's so scared"?
Hannah: "I think Blizzard thinks there are monsters down there...she's only six years old".
I suppressed my urge to laugh...after all, Hannah was absolutely sincere when she disclosed Blizzard's fear. Naturally I didn't point out to Hannah that although Blizzard is only six human years, she's actually forty-two in dog years.
