Soul Mates

The kids were sitting at the table the other day, reading messages on little candy hearts, when my son asked my daughter a question. She didn't know the answer, so she asked me, "Mom, what's a soul mate?"

I replied, "Well, it's when two things are meant to be together. Like with me and Daddy. It's love like no other love, and nothing can ever come between you."

She thought for a second about how to properly relay this information to her little brother, then she turned to him and said, "It's like how our dog feels about her bowl of food."

And just like that, I went from someone's soul mate to just another piece of meat.

Your dog gets MEAT? What happened to kibbles? What, this wasn't the point of your post?

That's funny. Now you don't have to feel bad when you tell hubby to 'bite me'.

Frame of refernece, dear, frame of reference. It has to be in terms they can easily relate to. I'm sure the dog really loves its food bowl, it's a source of sustenance :)

M soul mate must be that warm fresh baked oatmeal cookie I had for breakfast with my coffee.

What? Is there something wrong with that?

But does your husband growl at people who try to gnaw on you?

How come I feel like chopped liver all of a sudden?

But is it the only bowl the dog will ever eat from? Only then will you know if they really are 'soul mates' ;)

Snort! Hey, I think I am going to link to this post in March...all March long I am going to have a Pity Party. Hey, better yet, would you be a guest blogger? Just for one day? Or I could reprint this one, cause, it really says it all!

HA!

I can understand the love of a good bowl of food. It really is like no other. :-P

Very funny!

Coulda been worse. The dog could have been enamored with the toilet bowl.

That is so much better than in our house where the line would be, "It's like how our dog feels about eating his own poop."

I would not want to be the one to stand between your doggie and the foodbowl! It is kinda romantic though...

Take it as a compliment...men loooove their meat! unless they're vegetarian of course. say, can I use this in a talk sometime? I'm on my way to becoming an ordained unity minister and this will preach!

That's surprisingly perceptive-- I think you'd be flattered if you could know how romantic are the feelings your dog has for her bowl.

And be honest-- you wouldn't mind if your husband attacked you like a dog bowl once in a while. Am I right? lol

To be loved like a dog loves his food is pretty high praise based on how my Lab snarfs it down. But what about his love of eating the eyes from my kids' stuffed animals?
