Top Ten Reasons Pets are Better than Teenagers
I have kids (7 sons). I have pets (a dog, a cat, and 2 geckos). Here are my top reasons why pets are better than teenagers.
10) My pets have never asked to get a driver’s license.
9) Pets don’t take showers every single day and leave their towels in the middle of the bathroom floor waiting, I guess, for the magic fairy to swoop in and reclaim the floor.
My pets don’t start eating me out of house and home starting at 11:00 p.m. and ending about 4:00 a.m. cleaning out the fridge, banging things into the microwave, and leaving a mountain of dishes (for aforementioned magic fairy).
7) My pets don’t need new $100 tennis shoes every other week because of a sudden growth spurt.
6) My pets don’t need new clothes every summer to go to school, or every time they have a date with a new girlfriend, or just because.
5) My grocery bill doesn’t sky rocket just because I have pets because they don’t invite their friends over for impromptu pizza/nacho parties.
4) My pets go to bed at a decent hour (when I do) and never spend the nighttime prowling around (well, except Kitty).
3) I don’t have to build extra bedrooms because my pets cannot get along with their messy brother.
2) I don’t have to send my pets to college – hurray!
1) My pets have never had an illegal beer party when I’ve gone out of town.

Perhaps a new blog would be in order: http://www.kidpeeves.com. And yes, most of these things have actually happened to us. No wonder we never go out of town any more!
Because they won’t run up your cell phone bill
Now that’s a good one – and they don’t even HAVE a cell phone!
