Mice

Yay! something great just happened! if you're reading this for the first time u first need to know about me. all my life I've been well' not exactly an animal fanatic. but one things for sure,
I've always loved these three words when it comes to pets.
cute. small. furry. so i sent out to get something like that for my own.
a puppy. a kitten. unfortunately my mom is allergic to cats. plus we have money problems and can't afford a dog. (i don't get it cause before we had both!). hamsters are cute. so are their cousins, guinea pigs and gerbils. but my moms allergic to them too. parrots aren't exactly furry, or small for that matter. but they are SO COOL! i mean, come on. who dos'ent want a pet that speaks English? and look at all the species! my mom isn't allergic to birds, or my dad, and parrots are cheaper to take care of than dogs, but my mom says, "i wont have an overgrown sparrow flying around and pooping all over" so, nix that idea. that left only two things. mice and rats. and they are both, ( you gotta admit it) REALLY cool! you can train a rat, to do math problems, and mice? they're cute, furry, small, and (betcha didn't know this!) the only small animal gymnast and acrobat! a mouse can be trained to do midair flips, somersaults, and to run on top of, ON TOP OF its wheel! so that settled it.i was going after a mouse. i asked my mom for one. she said no. few years later, (yesterday in fact) i ask again. this time i'm even more eager. so after a long argument she gives in and says ok. but its not over yet. she says i will have to wait for her jugement on whether she thinks i'm responsible. so theres the deal. i have to brush my hair & teeth every day, clean my room everyday not pester my brother (everyday. oh man!) and basically just be responsible. *waves fingers* so you may be asking, "what the heck is "Yay" about that?" well, dear reader, it seems you have missed that if i AM responsible, i, Bridget c. coulter, will get not zero. not one. but TWO mice! and so, dear reader, THAT is the good news.
