Kids love to talk about their pets and with characteristic freedom, they weave many a fanciful tale of improbable going on ... If they don't have a pet , they blithely make one up ... lets take a look at a few .

*** One young man gravely assured me he had a pet . "A Horse." Where does he lived ?
"He sleeps with me ."
*** "In the bedroom ?"
"Of course !"
*** What does he do when you go to school ?
"He gives free rides to my brother ."
*** He couldn't be stumped . Who knows ? Maybe he does sleep with a horse .
*****************************************************************************
*** The subject of pedigrees is usually a challenging puzzler for kids . They usually don't know what a pedigree is ... their imagination runs wild .
*** You have any brothers or sisters ?
"One brother , but he is a cat ."
*** What's his name ?
"Socrates ."
*** "Does he have a pedigree ?"
"No , it died last year ."
