Our New Pet
A couple of days ago, when I opened the refrigerator, I found this on a shelf:
When I took it out and asked my kids what it was, my son proudly said…
“That’s my new pet egg, Mom. I made him a bed. And you have to keep him in the fridge because it’s cold and that’s where he likes to sleep.”
Even though I thought the fly my son caught last week (and put in a Tupperware, and fed grapes because he said it was a fruit fly) topped the pet-adventure list in our house, now I’m re-thinking things.
Because a pet egg, with the yolk still inside, and temperature and sleeping requirements, might be even better.
Or worse.
*sigh*
Don’t you think? :)
I think it's brilliant that he wants to keep it in the fridge where it has less chance of breaking, and rotting in the heat. :)
Love this!
I adore your son's creativity! Happy WW!
Very creative.Look on the bright side: no messes to clean up and no food to buy for it (since it IS food…). ;)
It could be SO much worse. I'm all for it!
I think that's really cute. At least he's wanting to take care of something, that's showing responsibilty, right?! :)
I think it depends on whether he wants to take it out to play. LOL!
I agree with Jessica, he just can't take it out to play! But other than that it's a pretty easy pet to take care of… plus it would make me smile eveytime I opened the fridge! :-)
hillarious – I could handle a pet egg I think! :)
A pet egg. Nice! And how very cute. I love the minds of children.~ Wendy
That is too funny…at least he is a cheap pet!
Ha ha love it! Reminds of a story I once read where a boy carried around a pet potato, to convince his parents he could handle a puppy.
How sweet! Oh, and I love the facial expression of the egg…he/she kinda looks mean! But in reality, I'm sure he/she is a very nice egg!
At least he's creative! The fridge is a eggsellent suggestion, I must say!
Oh my gosh, how funny! I love it!Carrie
I'm thinking your son is looking for someone or something to take care of. (Goodness, bad grammar) What a hoot, though :) I love it.
I wish my kids would pick such wonderful pets;)
I love the artistic design on the front!
LOL, that is hysterical!
♥ That is my kind of pet! :)
OMG! That is SO funny! LOL! :)Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day and entering my first giveaway! Have a great day! :)
That is so hilarious!!!
It doesn't get much better than that. I wish all pets could be so self-sufficient.
how funny! I too love the face the little egg has :o)cute! have fun with it :o)~simply~
I think the kid needs a fish or something.
Maybe he needs a goldfish. Thanks for helping me celebrate my special SITS day.
That's great. That sounds like something my daughter would do. :)
Too cute!!!
