On small children and pets

Posted at 1:32 PM on 23 March 2002

Thomas (who caught his head when he fell off a climbing frame at nursery yesterday morning and needed 6 stitches) came up to me a few minutes ago and told me that he wanted a pet.

"A pet?", I ask.

"A pet!", replied Thomas, "An octopus!".

Kids today, eh? I don't think this has anything to do with banging his head yesterday... He just wants an octopus...

I'm sure it would make a great pet, bit of a bugger to exercise though....

Nah - no trouble to exercise at all - just get it a pipe. Have you seen that footage of octopi squeezing they entire bodies through pipes a fraction of their own diameter??? Awesome stuff.

I'm also looking into adopting an octopus, it's not really that crazy of an idea
