Standard Silly Daddy Response to Pet Requests

Over the years as a parent, I think everyone in my immediate family has, at one time or another, asked, begged, and even pleaded with me to get a pet. Cats, dogs, turtles, hamsters, and bunnies were all proposed so sweetly as essential additions to our family. "Sorry, no," has been my standard response every time.
