We have been over this a hundred times! We are not getting a pet!
Why not? Come on! Just a cute little puppy or a kitty!
Who is going to look after a dog or a cat?
I will! I ' ll feed it, bathe it and walk it every day! We can get a Labrador or a German Shepard!
What if we want to take a vacation? Who will we leave it with? Plus, our apartment is too small for that breed of dog.
Ok. How about we get a cat or a ferret?
We ' re planning on having children soon, I don ' t think those animals are a good idea with a baby in the house.
Fine! Let ' s get a bird then! We can keep it in its cage and teach it to talk! A parrot would be awesome!
I ' ll tell you what, I can get you some hamsters and we ' ll take it from there.
Yay!
