Jackson has a cute little doggy. He really likes it, and its companion, a lilac sheep (odd, but cute). Actually, the lilac sheep came first, and he liked it so much that we got the dog from the same company, Just Jellycat. The dog's name is Shaggy. The sheep does not apparently have a name.



The best thing about these guys is that they're also books. Nice, soft books suitable for chewing on, very resistant to mutilation, and generally cute. The lilac sheep has a cute little poem, while the dog has a pretty inane story about playing fetch and taking a bath.



Anyway, the dog showed up recently, and Jackson played with it a bit. Then I decided to read it to him. There was fetching at the park, and jumping in the pond, and taking a bath. Then we got to this page (cue suspenseful music):



Can you read that? Let's take a closer look.



Get's! That's not even a grocer's apostrophe... that's just... not English! There's no situation in which "get's" is a word. Don't they have a spellchecker? Don't they proofread? I mean, there are only 80 words in the thing, and that's counting the two quacks from the duck. 80 is not so many that you can't actually check them all to make sure, that, I don't know, they're actually words in the language you're writing in?

Get's. Bah.
