You have such a delightful gift for capturing dialog in it's pure essence, Maddy! Your posts like this always leave me smiling. She's right you know, never say never! :-)
I am sure, seeing as you managed to cojour up a dog, that you could do the same for the Panda! Come on girl... your house if full of exotic things! lol
Ho ho ho.
There is an irresistible kind of logic to this conversation!
