We were at a school thing, and this happened and I don't really understand- Even though I did it-

Group: *about to leave to the next area*
Me, standing beside teacher: *looks around, can't find friend* Oh no... I lost my puppy....
Teacher: You mean [insert friend's name here]? They're over there.
Me: Thanks!
My head: She didn't even question the fact that I accidentally called him my puppy- Well then-
