Dogs and Parents

so a few days ago i was at a friends house eating dinner with some people and i heard her mom come back in from walking the dog.

and i look into the kitchen and i think i see her mom, in a black sweater, walk into the kitchen super hunched over, perhaps about to clean the floor, and then i do a double take and i realize that it is actually the dog and not her mom who has walked into the kitchen.

then her mom comes into the kitchen and i am laughing because i think i am so stupid for thinking that her mom was the dog, and while im laughing i say "hi, i thought you were the dog for a moment!"

she does not think this is funny. i stop laughing.
