Pets

"Mommy, what are we having for dinner?"

"Pizza"

"When we go to the pizza shop, can we go to the pet store. We should get a pet at the pet store. How about that? How about a bunny?"

"A bunny?

"Yeah. He can live in a cage and then we can take him out and play with him."

"Where will he poop?"

"Outside."

"But if he goes outside, he'll run away and go into the woods with the other bunnies."

"Nu-uh. We can open the door just a little bit and he can poop on the step and the wind can blow it away."

"I don't think that will work."

"Yeah-huh... or maybe a fish? We can put him in a tank. Fish don't poop."

"Honey, everybody poops."

"Fish poop in their tank?"

"Yep."

"How about 2 fish? Can I get 2 fish... PLEASE??"

"Maybe after we go on vacation." (I'm thinking either he'll forget, or he'll end up winning one at the fair this summer anyway)

"Are fish strong? (as he has his hands cupped together) Could they open my hand?"

"Well, fish are slippery. And you wouldn't hold them anyway."

"Well, I can just hold them quick and put them in their tank."

"If we get fish, they will be in a bag with water."

"Oh!! OK!!"
