I talk for the dogs all the time, looking at their body language and saying out loud what they seem to be communicating before I respond to them. Well, now the 6yr old is convinced I can literally talk to animals and refuses to believe it's not some kind of magic, even when I try to point out ear and tail position and stuff. Starting to think I might stop trying to talk her out of it and just go with it. Might even come up with a scandalous dialog about a cookie heist.
