One afternoon in the '80s, I announced to my mom and brother that the middle school chorus teacher, Mr. B., kept a pet rabbit in his classroom that was "almost as big as (our cat,) Rusty." This prompted the following reactions in quick succession:
Brother: Huh?
Mom: What?
Rusty: Meow?
The three humans in the room started laughing. Leave it to a bunny to prompt such a rhythmic, unrehearsed chain of responses.
