In Which a Razor Reassigns My Zoological Class

Little One sat next to me on the couch and gave me a pat on the leg.
Her head cocked to one side, and She gave me another pat. 
Her brow furrowed.
She rubbed my shin.  She rubbed my knee. 

Little One: "Hmm.  Mommy? Are you sure you're a mammal?"

What a question to be asking a creature currently gestating live-birth progeny. Which will be nursed.

C: "Why, Little One of course I am.  You know all about what makes something a mammal.  Why do you ask?"

LO: "Because.  You never have any fur."
