Cats dont dig ...

The other day I was cleaning out the litter box. I heard a furtive step behind me and there was Jacob.

"Whatchoo doin daddy?"
"Cleaning out the Cat poop"
"why?"
"Cause it stinks" I reply.
"why?"
"'Cause this is where they go potty, they dig and poop"
"Daaad, cat's don't dig"

And that began Jacobs favorite statement/question that he uses on me all the time now.

In the mornings as I am headed off to work, he runs after me and catches me at the door.

"Daddy, wait! I gotta question for you.."
"Ok punkin, whassup?" I say, knowing what comes next..
"Cats don't dig, you clean them paws ... "

And then he stands there looking at me .. as I stand there looking at him waiting for him to finish. I tried for a while to explain that it really wasn't a question, it was more like a statement .. but that didn't fly ..

I also tried the tack of argueing that

'yes, cat's do indeed dig'

, but as all of you know, argueing with a two-year-old is a losing propostion.

So, intead I just answer with

"Profit!"

It makes me happy ..
