It Could Have Had WHAT?!

When I stepped out front yesterday afternoon to give the under-the-boys'-chairs sheet a shake out I noticed a dead rat in our front yard.

Just then J walked out and I pointed our my interesting find (because who isn't interested in checking out a dead animal right up close like that).

Me:  Don't touch it, J, because it has germs and may have had a disease.
J:  I know.  It could have had herpes.
Me:  What?
J:  It could have had herpes.
Me:  Who told you about that?
J:  (still intently checking out our discovery and trying to find the right word)  It could have had herpes...or rerbes...or rerbers.
Me:  Ooooh, RABIES!  It could have had rabies.
J: (matter of factly)  Yeah, rabies.
