Obsessed

with all animals.

At a pet store, holding a kitty, B: "PLEASE, PLEEEEASE can we take the kitty home."
M: "No."
B: "Why?"
M: "Grandpa's allergic to them and Dad doesn't like them because they shed."
B, in tears: "PLEASE, PLEEEEEEEAAAAAAASE."
M, Worst mom in the world: "No, we already have a dog."


To dad later at dinner, B: "Dad, I want a kitty."
D: "No, babe, we aren't getting a kitty."
B: "Why?"
D: "Cause dogs and cats don't get along, so Norty probably wouldn't like that very much."
B: "But why?"
D had to explain this concept several times.

To dad later, B: "Dad, why can't we have a kitty?"
D, after explaining the same reasons over and over, he finally resorted to using some medical jargon on B: "Cause cats make babies sick" (referring to IF I was to become pregnant and the fact that pregnant women shouldn't deal with cat poop).
B, FINALLY willing to resolve in a compromise: "Well, maybe when Sisi grows up we can have a cat."

Whatever gets her to stop asking . . . :)
