Snails? I want a dog.

Remember when I set up my cute little office fish tank?

Well, it has since become completely overgrown with algae - the snails I had in there didn't do their job very well and then they died. So, last night I decided it was finally time to go to the pet store to get some more snails.

We made it a family outing and as we drove up to the pet store, I told the kids that I needed to go get some snails.

To which, the boy responded, "Snails? I want a dog. A sleeping dog." ???...
