A Dingo!

"Mom....stop the car.....I just saw a dingo! In a yard!" My response, "Nate, we are late to swimming lessons, we can't stop, oh and aren't dingos those wild dogs that live in Africa or something?" The minute it came out of my mouth I was correcting myself in my head...not Africa Ange, duh, it is Australia. Then from the backseat, "Mom..not AFRICA, it's Australia. Oh, and did you know that you could domesticate a dingo? Did you know that mom? And the kids in Australia pick up sticks and boards to make themselves look bigger if they see a dingo. Ya see, Dingos don't eat anything that is bigger than they are and the board will make the kid look bigger." I didn't say it, but I was thinking... and he wanted me to stop so he could get out and see the dingo. I would guess that he was counting on it being a "domesticated" dingo!:)
