Ellie and Madeline come to ask if they can take Sadie out for a walk down the street. Before they leave I remind Ellie that she needs to take a bag with her in case she needs to clean up after Sadie. "But Mommy, that makes me sick. I can't even look at it."
"Well, that's part of having a dog. You have to do the cleaning up, too," I gently remind her.
"Oh, I know that," Ellie said, pointing to her little sister. "That's why she's going."
There stands Madeline, not offended in the least, grinning ear to ear, "I'll just hold my nose if it's smelly. It doesn't make me sick like Ellie."
