Not sure what prompted this conversation in the car earlier this evening…

Kidlet:  Mom, how long do dogs live?

Me:  Depends.

Kidlet:  Why?

Me:  Because 1 year to us is 7 years to a dog.

Kidlet:  So that means if I was a dog I would be almost 56?

Me:  Yep.

Kidlet:  Man, if you were a dog, you’d probably be dead.
