Abby's Love

Tonight as we were driving home from school, Abby informed me that she loves animals more than she loves me. She said that she just felt that animals in nature need to be taken care of and that she felt like she should do it.

Well, when I asked if she really loved animals more than me she said (in her very serious voice), "Yes, I really do."

I promptly informed her that I am after all a member of the great ape family and love being in nature and should therefore be as loved by her as any other animal.

She responded that she loved me, but not as much and that I'm really not an animal in nature because I don't walk on four legs.

I argued that I could certainly crawl around on my hands and knees, but she just wouldn't buy it!

So, alas, I am forced to settle for second-rate love from Abby.

Lucky animals in nature, poor Mama! (But, I'm sticking with the fact that I am a great ape.)
