We Want a Pet!

  • We Want a Pet!

  • "We want a pet! We want a pet!" chant the kids.
    "No! We will not let you have a pet. We are dead set against a pet!" say the parents.
    And so the battle lines are drawn -- can the kids convince the parents?

    As they lie in the grass watching bugs and beetles, watching little legs and eyes,
    watching ladybirds, spiders and flies, suddenly they realise these will be their pets!!

    Complete mayhem follows as the kids bring their gross, slimy, leggy, hairy 'pets' inside . . .
