The Family Meeting (Dogs Say the Darnedest Things, Part 3)

At our family meeting, discussing fire safety with my three dogs:

ME: What should you do if you woke up and smelled smoke?

MACKY: Call 911.

ME: Very good.

SARAH: I'd call you on your cell phone first, then call 911.

ME: Why would you call my cell phone?

SARAH: To tell you the house was on fire.

ME: Why not just bark and tell me?

SARAH: You might not hear me from outside.

ME: What are you doing outside?

SARAH: Calling you.

ME: Why aren't you inside?

SARAH: Because the house is on fire!

FREEDOM: How are you going to make a call from outside?

SARAH: I'll take Dad's cell phone with me.

FREEDOM: You are going to use Dad's phone to call Dad's phone?

SARAH: That's right.

FREEDOM: That won't work.

MACKY: Yeah!

SARAH: What do you know? You're stupid. I bet you don't even know the number for 911.

MACKY: I do too!

SARAH: Then what is it?

MACKY: It is... It is... I am not telling you!

SARAH: That's because you don't know.

MACKY: I do too!

SARAH: Do not!

MACKY: Do too!

SARAH: Do not!

MACKY: Do too!

ME: Stop fighting you two. The correct answer is to call 911.

MACKY: Told you.

SARAH: You're still stupid.

ME: So where do we meet up?

MACKY: At the refrigerator.

FREEDOM: No we don't. We meet up outside, by the mailbox.

ME: Why would we meet by the refrigerator?

MACKY: To save our food!

ME: But the house is on fire.

SARAH: Yeah, stupid.

MACKY: But if we do not save our food, it will burn up and we will starve.

FREEDOM: No we wouldn't. The food isn't going to burn up, it will just get cooked.

MACKY: It will?

FREEDOM: Yeah. It will be flame broiled, just like a barbecue.

MACKY: That would be cool! I like barbecue.

SARAH: You guys are stupid.
