Or at least that's how it sounded! He really "wanted a dog, Aunt Kathy"!
When our son was about 8 years old he asked a friend of ours if he was a "D*** Yankee". He then proceeded to explain the difference. I was so shocked and embarrassed. I didn't know where he had heard this. My friend just laughed and replied..."Since I stayed, I must be a D*** Yankee.
