The kids were sitting at the table the other day, reading messages on little candy hearts, when my son asked my daughter a question. She didn’t know the answer, so she asked me, “Mom, what’s a soul mate?”
I replied, “Well, it’s when two things are meant to be together. Like with me and Daddy. It’s love like no other love, and nothing can ever come between you.”
She thought for a second about how to properly relay this information to her little brother, then she turned to him and said, “It’s like how our dog feels about her bowl of food.”
And just like that, I went from someone’s soul mate to just another piece of meat.

Just another piece of meat! That is priceless.
Marinka
Your dog gets MEAT? What happened to kibbles? What, this wasn’t the point of your post?
WeaselMomma
That’s funny. Now you don’t have to feel bad when you tell hubby to ‘bite me’.
Piper
it’s all relative, right? there’s passion there, that’s for sure.
Amy
Brilliant.
Rhea
I love it. That’s a priceless bit of reasoning.

Ok, but if you’re bacon, that’s a timeless love right there.

Frame of refernece, dear, frame of reference. It has to be in terms they can easily relate to. I’m sure the dog really loves its food bowl, it’s a source of sustenance 🙂

M soul mate must be that warm fresh baked oatmeal cookie I had for breakfast with my coffee.
What? Is there something wrong with that?
Angie [A Whole Lot of Nothing]
pretty logical to me
Erin
Your dog must REALLY love her food!
O My Blog!
But does your husband growl at people who try to gnaw on you?
How come I feel like chopped liver all of a sudden?
OHmommy
Now that is funny… I love listening to what children come up with. Priceless.
Lisa@verybusymomwith4
But is it the only bowl the dog will ever eat from? Only then will you know if they really are ‘soul mates’ 😉

Man, leave it to a kid to boil things down to the essence.

Snort! Hey, I think I am going to link to this post in March…all March long I am going to have a Pity Party. Hey, better yet, would you be a guest blogger? Just for one day? Or I could reprint this one, cause, it really says it all!
HA!
OhCaptain
I can understand the love of a good bowl of food. It really is like no other. 😛
Very funny!
Josi
LOL–how on earth did we ever learn humility without our children’s help?
Sadia
Thank you (and to your kids) for a good belly laugh right before bed.
Kiera
No WAY! That is too good to be true. I love the spin you put on that! You crack me up.
Maggie May
ha! cleva!
Jodi
Hahahahahaha!!! Your kids ROCK!
Mark
Way too funny!!!
Kat
Your kids make me laugh so hard. You are incredibly lucky.
Tom
Coulda been worse. The dog could have been enamored with the toilet bowl.
meleah rebeccah
I like her logic!

That is so much better than in our house where the line would be, “It’s like how our dog feels about eating his own poop.”
Bee and Rose
I would not want to be the one to stand between your doggie and the foodbowl! It is kinda romantic though…
NUGO
Take it as a compliment…men loooove their meat! unless they’re vegetarian of course. say, can I use this in a talk sometime? I’m on my way to becoming an ordained unity minister and this will preach!
holly
can’t…comment…laughing too much…call the medic…!
BOSSY
Hmmm… she’s actually not too far off!
Smart A$$ Mom
And all this time you thought you were someones snuggle bunny. Bwah!
Mama Dawg
yeah, but she’s brilliant!
LiteralDan
That’s surprisingly perceptive– I think you’d be flattered if you could know how romantic are the feelings your dog has for her bowl.
And be honest– you wouldn’t mind if your husband attacked you like a dog bowl once in a while. Am I right? lol
DysFUNctional Mom
I think it’s a pretty accurate description……
lol
Jaina
Don’t worry Momo…she’ll understand someday. 😉
David Peters
That is just flat out funny stuff. Seriously, I was laughing out loud.
Rudy
Kid’s innocence is so adorable. Your interpretation of the comment is priceless!

To be loved like a dog loves his food is pretty high praise based on how my Lab snarfs it down. But what about his love of eating the eyes from my kids’ stuffed animals?
