The girls and I were at the grocery store yesterday, and Maggie brought along a stuffed dog that has a collar. She asked me why dogs have collars, so I told her that they have collars because they might not listen and might run away, and because dogs cannot talk, the collar would help the dog get back to its family.
She sat for a few seconds, clearly thinking about my answer, and then looked at me and said, "Should we put a collar on Molly?"
She's always thinking, that girl!
