Gary: I think I’d rather get a dog. Dogs are more loyal than cats.

Connie: Yes, but they’re so much work! Would you be willing to walk it every single day? And clean up after it?

Gary: Hmm. Good point. What about a bird? Or a fish?

Connie: We’d have to invest a lot of money in a cage or a fish tank. And I really don’t know how to take care of a bird or a fish!

Gary: Well, we’re obviously not ready to get a pet yet.

Connie: Yeah, you’re right. Let’s go grab some coffee and talk about it.
