My sprog is a demon who has gotten it into his tiny little brain that he wants a pet. This is all I have heard about since I got home. This is all I will hear about for the next three days (which is an optimistic estimate). And I haven't even told him yet we can't get a pet. I look forward to the inevitable meltdown.

I'm currently accepting donations of liquor to get our family through these difficult times.

	As it turns out, I am going to get a pet on Saturday and will be more than happy to bring it around to make the situation much worse. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Yeah, sometimes! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No - ALL the time. Well, maybe just most of the time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stint 2017-06-06 02:59 am UTC (link)
	I can live with maybe most. Why can't you get a pet ? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't trust my kid to not kill it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He's NOT a sociopath! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weirdrummer 2017-06-06 03:34 am UTC (link)
	Yes, he is. All kids his age are sociopaths. There have been sciencey things done that prove it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stint 2017-06-06 03:56 am UTC (link)
	You know, you're the one with the knowledge. I've managed not to have any kids yet. Yet. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Think long and hard before you do. They're fun but also tiny demons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can live through you, Orsino. Your kid doesn't bite me. I like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weirdrummer 2017-06-07 09:38 pm UTC (link)
	Just wait - I'm gonna teach him to bite you now. Just because you said that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	stint 2017-06-08 03:19 am UTC (link)
	Well, that's nice. Thank you. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Dogs are great though. Except mine. He's still an ass who eats my boots. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	weirdrummer 2017-06-06 03:37 am UTC (link)
	They're great, yes. But it's just a bad idea. My kid + animal = bad things (probably) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pipsqueak 2017-06-06 03:47 am UTC (link)
	Depends on the dog, honestly. Whenever my nephews visit my dog might as well be their nanny. I think his biological clock is ticking. He wants puppies. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weirdrummer 2017-06-07 09:39 pm UTC (link)
	Get him a puppy? Or some sheep? I know herding dogs go bonkers without something to actively herd around - be it animals or children. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	pipsqueak 2017-06-08 03:36 am UTC (link)
	He's not a herding dog, but a Newfoundland. They were bread for rescue. They can't go swimming without getting fished out. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I have several bottles I brought back from Poland with me. You're welcome to one. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I was mostly kidding about the booze thing. Mostly. What did you bring back with you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	everonward 2017-06-06 10:52 pm UTC (link)
	A lot of vodka. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weirdrummer 2017-06-07 09:40 pm UTC (link)
	Yes. Vodka is good. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	everonward 2017-06-07 10:38 pm UTC (link)
	I thought so. I'll owl one over. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	quidditchling 2017-06-06 06:58 am UTC (link)
	Definitely looking forward to that argument when my oldest figures out the baby isn't a pet. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	weirdrummer 2017-06-06 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	Oh. That will be FUN. Good luck. I wish you the best. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Sprog? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	weirdrummer 2017-06-06 10:26 pm UTC (link)
	Slang for kid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	lovkost 2017-06-06 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	Well, that's a new addition to my lexicon. What is your beverage of choice, then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	weirdrummer 2017-06-07 09:41 pm UTC (link)
	Glad I could educate. Anything alcoholic. I'm not picky. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	How old is the sprig? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	weirdrummer 2017-06-06 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	Almost three. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Could you hold out until he forgets he wants one? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	eatsleepplay 2017-06-07 12:32 am UTC (link)
	Don't do it. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	weirdrummer 2017-06-07 09:42 pm UTC (link)
	I don't plan on it. Even when he acts all cute, I know he's still a little demon. Little demons don't need pets. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No. Not they don't. (Reply to this) (Parent)
