Hello againMy kids want a dog, they really want a dog, they don't want to hear excuses, they don't want to hear justifications for not getting one - they just want a dog.
I have had to resist in a grown up parent kind of way, spouting on with "who's going to take it out", "who's going to clean up after it" etc but mostly I have resisted because we don't have the right sort of car to move a dog in; I have an Audi TT and my wife has a Fiat 500, neither of which can accommodate a dog cage - what am I supposed to do?
I thought that this kind of logic would make sense and that they would "understand" the point I was making. Sadly not, all they hear when I resist is "no" followed by "blah, blah, blah" and nothing except "yes, let's go and get a cute puppy" will do.
Just to ram the point home, they went to their school Christmas Fair on Saturday and returned with a little reminder for me!!
Until next time...
