So, about that dog

Family at the dinner table, some of them eating their dinner, and others... not:

Ben: "If we had a dog, it would be so happy, because Penelope would be feeding it pork chops under the table."

Mommy: "Hmmm.. if we had a dog, it would be morbidly obese from eating all the crumbs under the table."

Ben: "Haha! Yeah!......Wait!"

-Silence-

-One beat-

-Silence-

-Two beats-

Ben: "Was that a shot?"
