Conversation with a cat

From Littlest this morning:

"Emma, do you want me to scratch you? Do you? NO, you DON'T. I don't want you to scratch me. That's the WRONG WAY. That's NOT RIGHT. Don't scratch me."

This, from the kid who thinks he's a cat 90 percent of the time, and has tormented Emma since he could reach out and grab her tail with his tiny fist.
