welcome to our new family pets
Not dog like my daughter always wishing for.
"Oh, honey" (I said this to her countlessly for the zillion times) "Look at our small home..we can't have a dog in this small space...he needs to run here and there to be happy."
She then (always) puts a sad face.
"So if we have a big home someday, can I get a dog?" (again, for the zillion times...)
hmmmmm, let's see.
"We tried two times already for you to have a dog, but then after a couple months you neglected him so we had to sent him to daddy's office so he could be taken care by the office boy, remember?"
"Promise, mom, I will take care of the dog this time."
hmmmm.
"How about this, let's start with the turtle, ok?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Oh, thank you mom, can we have turtle?"
Oh, sure.
I think turtle won't smell bad, won't ruin my garden, won't running into the house with dirt, won't pee everywhere, and won't bark.
So, turtle it is.
For now.
A....Not only Janice wants a dog as a pet!
When I read this passage to her, she said " Why all the mothers said like that..?"
Yes, every mother has the same care, the same worry and the same wish on her children.
