The Not-Liking Cavy

Ian was highly distressed that he couldn't find his little stuffed guinea pig (which I found within a few minutes...). At the moment when its loss was first discovered, I told him I'd be his little guinea pig, and I scrunched up to look smaller, and made some guinea pig squeaks.

He was not satisfied.

I asked him what kind of guinea pig he wanted me to be, and he said, "I don't want you to be a guinea pig at all."

I said, but "I'm your little guinea pig," and he said, "No you're not... You're my... not-liking guinea pig."
