Hay! A Story With a Happy Ending

Conversation in the car today:

BB: I wish I wasn't a horse.

Me, trying to drive: What?

BB, more sadly: I wish I wasn't a horse!

Me: You're NOT a horse!

BB: GOOD! Yay!

Me: Why are you glad you are not a horse?

BB: Because I would be so sad when the riders whipped me.
