The Moving-Carpet Discussion

"Whoooaaaa..... Make it stop, Mama!"
"What are you talking about? Make what stop?"
"This carpet! I'm tryin'ta teach myself how to sit and it keeps moving..... it's makin' me wobble and I'm gonna fall down!"
"The carpet isn't moving, Day."
"No, but, it IS... look at it!"
"Okay, yes, the carpet has been moved and is now quite askew... however, you are the one who sent it flying out of place when you decided to run zoomies around the living room just a few minutes ago."
"But, that doesn't explain why it's..... stiiillll moviiinnggggggg........"
"Because there's nothing to explain; it's not moving."
"Then why am I wobbling? Huh?? Explain that!!"
"Could be because your body just simply isn't used to sitting. And anyway... why have you, all of a sudden, decided to try to teach yourself to sit in the first place?"
"Well, everybody else does it! Why shouldn't I??"
"Sooooo, if everybody else started eating nothing but pumpkin-bites... would you join in on that fad, too?"
"No.... you know I don't like pumpkin-bites. Buu-uuut... maybe if everybody started eating only cinnamon-sugar doughnuts, then sure... I think I'd definitely be down for that one! I love cinnamon-sugar doughnuts!! I love them as much as I love sticky buns! And, even as much as I love blueberry scones!!  And, and... and even as much as I love birthday cake... mmmmmmm... birthday cake with that delicious butter iciiinnnnggggg!!! ..... Yeah... the cinnamon-sugar doughnuts deal? It actually sounds like a SUPER fun idea.... can we really do that?"
"No."
"Almond Croissants??"
"No."
"Mamas are so unfair... grumble, grumble....."
