I can't remember when it was that I made this list up, but today I felt the urge to share it with you. I think it's because the WGH is at the moment guilty of #7. He counts as a child sometimes (he'll say I do, too, and I'll concede that). Top 10 Reasons Pets Are Better Than Children 10. Pets don't talk back to you. 9. Pets don't argue with their siblings. 8. Pets don't fight over the remote control. 7. Pets don't change the settings on your computer. 6. Pets don't laugh at you when you dance to their music. 5. Pets don't mind if you kiss them in front of their friends. 4. You don't have to buy your pets $100 sneakers, and their coats don't wear out every year. 3. Pets will eat just about anything you put in front of them without turning up their noses. 2. If your pet stays out past curfew, you don't have to worry about where he is, what he's doing, or who he's doing it with. ... and the #1 reason pets are better than children: 1. If your pet throws up in the middle of the night, you can wait until morning to clean it up. Read a book. Hug your kids. And your pet. =) JB
