Is Your Butt Itchy?

Contrail and Ocotillo wands

After Becca did her business this morning (well off the trail, as she always does), she quickly sat her rear end down on the dirt, as dogs with an itchy tail end often do.  I said to her, "What's wrong, is your butt itchy?"  She immediately jumped up and looked around as if somebody was coming.  After she sat again, I asked the same thing and got the same response.  It took me a minute to figure out what she was doing.  When her dog friends at the cabin show up, we always say, "It's your buddies."  She was hearing "Is your butt itchy?" as "It's your buddies."  We were going to enroll her in college this semester, but now we're reconsidering.
