I love when small children identify all quadripedal animals as “doggy!”

It always reminds me of the time Plato offered the definition of a human as any “featherless biped” and Diogenes busted into the Academy with a plucked chicken screaming, “BEHOLD A MAN!”

i love the implication you were there when it happened. good times right

But this sounds like EXACTLY the kind of shit Diogenes would pull.
