Me: "Umm, NO!"
Them: (Yes,the request was plural. They totally ganged up on me.) "Pleeeeeease!"
Me: "Reptiles do not make good pets."
Monkey 1: "Bearded Dragons make great pets! (Proceeds to remind me that Bob, the Bearded Dragon class mascot, helped him with his math.
Exhibit A:
Dang it all, Bob!!! Why do you have to be all cutesy and helpful!
Exhibit B:
-----------------------
Me: "We have a dog. We don't need another pet to care for."
Them: "Her breath smells like death from eating cat poop out of the litter box.
Me: "There are no words."
Exhibit C:

Kids: "Where the air is fresh and clear of your fishy, death breath!"

Me: "We have a cat."
Them: "If she's not sleeping, she's trying to get outside to have adventures."
Exhibit D:
Me: (Thinks to self) "Sounds like a perfect plan to me." (Actually says) "That's just what cats do."

Them: "We really want a Bearded Dragon or a Lemon/Lime Gecko. They are so cute."
Me: Silently screams from within, then says, "Who is going to take care of these wild beasts?"
Them: "We will!"
Me: "Who is going to feed them?"
Them: "We will!"
Me: "Who is going to clean up their poop?"
Them: "Tink will!"
