"Penny bad," Mila said.

"No, she's not. She just makes bad choices sometimes," retorted Alexis.

"Penny bad."

"Penny's not bad. She just gets in trouble a lot."

"Penny bad," Mila said.

"Mila, Penny isn't bad. She's sweet," Alexis replied.

"Penny bad."

"Penny's not bad, Mila. She just really likes your food," Alexis argued.

"Penny bad."

"MILA. Penny is not bad," Alexis insisted.

"Penny bad."

"Sometimes she does bad things, but she's not bad."

"Penny bad," Mila repeated.

"Penny's a nice dog," Alexis replied.

"Penny bad."

"Stop being mean to Penny. She's good."

"Penny bad," Mila said. Again.

"Can we talk about something else, Mila?" Alexis asked.

"Penny bad," Mila replied.

"FIIIIINE. Penny is bad, but at least she's cute," Alexis said.

"Penny cute," Mila said.

And there it is. For the first time ever, Mila and Alexis fought. And Mila won.
