When walking with Kate, one must be very careful. This is because she will move, as fast as possible, toward any animal she sees… especially if it’s a dog. This includes, but is not limited to, dogs walking down the street, dogs walking across the street, dogs in a house down the block, dogs whizzing by in a car, and dogs that Kate makes up in her imagination.
To interrupt Kate’s love-fest with a dog, you will need to physically remove her from the animal. This will result in THE POUT.
THE POUT may last an especially long time, at least until she is re-united again with her animal love, or is found a suitable replacement. Her brother qualifies as a suitable replacement. As does her family “gato,” Scout. Her Daddy and Mommy do not.
When faced with THE POUT, one needs constant vigilance. THE POUT gives her certain super-powers aimed at circumventing all attempts of control. This includes, but is not limited to, kicking, running, fussing, wiggling, and going boneless. Note picture below: she is Assuming The Position. Prepare for defensive maneuvers.

That … is hilarious. I’m going to try the Pout in class today. Political econ teacher asks me to draw some curves illustrating comparative versus absolute advantage? I’ll just do the Pout and go spineless, right there at the blackboard.

No, but maybe I could find a way to work that in. That’s hella funny, too.
