It's Not A Puppy

My uncle and his family are here. One of my cousins is barely one and is having a blast right now. He was playing with my grandma's puppy, Cricket, and he had a big smile. It's a habit of mine to ask little people stupid questions to stimulate them, so I said, "Is that a puppy?" And my cousin, who is too young to talk yet, gets this somber look, and he shakes his head and walks away.
