"And I say, then your mind starts running, if you have a kaleidoscope mind like I do."
Metaphor in Context
My dog is only eleven pounds. What's shocking to me is that my dog's, like, hindquarter -- I looked at it the other day, when he got wet ... I looked at his leg. It looked like a large chicken leg. I got frightened. So I said, How could you eat a chicken, and savor it, and the dog's -- I can't do it.
And I say, then your mind starts running, if you have a kaleidoscope mind like I do. Like what if you were starving. Would you eat Teddy?
