21.2.10
an anecdote from allison (in a little wordier fashion)
"This morning, while we were sitting on the patio at breakfast, I saw a mother and her little daughter walking down the street. The daughter was about three. They came upon a dog who was tied up and the girl instantly went to give (him) a hug. "No sweety, you need to ask the dog's owner first." said her mother. So the little girl asked and the owner assured her that the dog was friendly and so the toddler began to pet the dog. "Ask what the dog's name is..." the mother prompted. And so the three year old, in her baby voice, requested this piece of information. The owner looked them straight in the face and responded, "Kevin". The mother was silent for a moment and the little girl continued playing with the dog. Then the mother told the little girl to bid farewell. "Bye Kevin!" she said and they went on their way."
