good daddy

Abby walks down the hall with her glass tea pot tied up with a shoe string, leading the (breakable) tea pot like a dog:

A: Look daddy!
M: Oh boy, that looks like a very neat idea, but why don't you practice your cleverness on something less breakable.

I was impressed with this response. I just wonder if he would have been quite so thoughtful and relaxed if it had been his iPod she was trailing with a string!!
