Me: Bud! Did you pee on the floor over there?
Bud: What is this? The Inquisition?
Me: Well, did you?
Bud: Why do you ask?
Me: Don't answer a question with a question, smarty pants.
Bud: Why not?
Me: Ugh. You are off topic. What is that mess on the floor?
Bud: Dunno. Ask Idiot Brother...you know how hard he was to housebreak.
Me: Rocky is in his crate right now. This is your fault.
Bud: Uuummm...maybe Senior did it.
Me: Nope. Elliot is outside. YOU'RE the culprit.
Bud: OK, OK...I did it.
Me: Shame, canine! You know better. What's your excuse?
Bud: Jeez! I'm 16 years old...and practically blind...and-oh yeah- that cheap beer you buy goes right through me.
