Me: Yo Derrick my dog won’t stop pissing on the carpet again
Derrick: You should probably nip that behavior in the butt before he does it again
Me: Well you know what they say Derrick: it takes a baby to raise a village, after all
Derrick: You should probably nip that behavior in the butt before he does it again
