Conversation with my parents

Mom: Did you hear the gunshot around 3 a.m. last night?

Me: No. Are you sure it was a gunshot?

Mom: Yes.

Me: Well, if you hear anything about it on the local news, please let me know.

Mom: I feel sure it was a dog.

Me: A dog fired a gun? That really should be on the news.

Dad: It was a hunting dog.
