Breakfast at Tiffany's

I almost died, having my breakfast at a table where old wives' tales and labeling (by the older folks) became the Truths of the Day.

Lecter became a pekingese (!), and all giant breeds of dogs were german shepherds. All dogs caused asthma, and anyone, especially kids, within a certain radius of contact would get it from the dogs.

Who-and-who had a dog, just like that ! (pointed to Lecter, who looked on puzzlingly.) A fat lion-dog (pekingese) ! * He gave it up for adoption within a couple of months.

Aiya no surprise, larh. My who-and-who also, marh. She gave up TWO of them (shoved the two-finger victory sign in front of the rest). Dogs cause asthma, leh. And they are dirty smelly and stupid too.

Yah yah, very smelly and stupid. Their fur makes you asthmatic too.

I looked at Lecter sitting quietly by my side, and I looked at them. And then I decided who were actually the stupid ones.

* Most pekingese are not fat. They are just fluffy. Like Lecter is now.
