Broken commandments
Last night I gave our dogs, Bogey and Birdie, each a chewbone. They both settled down to chew contentedly for about an hour, then Bogey decided he wanted to save the rest of the chewbone for later. So, he proceeded to wander through-out the house looking for the perfect hiding spot (under one of the dining room chairs). In the meantime, Birdie chewed her bone completely up. At bedtime, Bogey "unhid" his chewbone and took it to bed with him so he could guard it during the night. Birdie feigned sleep, keeping a close watch on Bogey, who dropped off into dreamland. When his guard was down, Birdie slyly grabbed the chewbone. Yes, it was now hers and she guarded it throughout the night, sleeping with it in her mouth. In the morning, Bogey tried to get the chewbone back but Birdie growled and would not allow it. How many commandments were broken? "Thou shall not covet thy brother's chewbone", "Thou shall not lie about being asleep", "Thou shall not steal", and of course, the Golden Rule of treating your brother as you would have him treat you. Birdie also modified the following saying, "Yes, I am my brother's keeper of the chewbone!"
