| | "mom, can we get a dog? I want a dog?"
"no"
"why not? I really want a dog."
"because, they cost money to keep them healthy, to feed them well, to keep their hair nice. We don't have a fence and we don't really have room."
"can't we get a fence? don't you want one anyway?"
"okay. here's the deal. dogs poop a lot. we have little kids in the yard, you would have to pick up the poop every day. at first you wouldn't mind. but then you would get tired of it. you would fight with your brothers about who needed to do it. it would turn into a fight. i would have to hear whining and bickering. i would get mad and yell. you would each decide to give the dog to each other, and that you didn't want it anymore. one of you would think this is a good idea, and would freak out and yell whenever the other child touched or petted the dog. eventually there would be yelling, tears, and you would both come to me and say I should have never let you guys have a dog. I am the mom and I shouldn't have let you get a dog.
So no."
"oh. okay."
PS- Nana, your package came yesterday!!! Hooray! Selah wants us to go read "Sarah Palin Tall" Ha!
