Star Jar: Dog

Yesterday morning the first thing N said to me was this.

N: "Mom, I know what I want when I fill the star jar with stars....I want a pet. I need a pet."

Me: "Oh, really? What kind of pet?

N: "A dog with black furry hair."

Me: "A big dog or a little dog?"

N: with his left hand in the air and his thumb and index finger making the shape of a rectangle., "A liiiiitttle tiny dog this big."

Me: "That sounds like a mouse."

N: "No, it'd be a little tiny dog with black furry hair. Not a mouse."
