First things first

I call Sharks a number of things, depending on my (and his) mood - silly goose, Harkins Malarkins, sweet heart, Sparkins, big boy, dude...you catch my drift.

So today I asked him, "Are you my buddy?"

And he scrunched up his little face, shook his head, and said, "No...son!"

At least he understands his role in the family.
