Nothing is more expensive than a half hour vet visit. That's for sure. The real world to a kid, money from trees. Gershon, do you know where I can get one???? WAIT, NO TOOTH FAIRY!

Tooth fairies are for snowflakes. Money trees are for he-man investor types. lol.

Hehe….funny BB …. and in theory it sounds great but l agree with Joe it ends up being the parents dealing with it when the novelty wears off in many cases! Debx

In theory...but a pet generally means more work for the parent after the novelty wears off. We do spoil them terribly, and then they can't cope. Excellent write.

Oh, please agree more, Shirley. I beg you. (And btw, can you spare a few branches from your money tree? Mine has gone on strike!). ~ Man Age Ment
