So Parker and I went to Petsmart last night. There are snakes and lizards. There are hamsters and guinea pigs. And then I spot rats for sale. But not just any kind of rats. These were called Fancy Rats. And the price tag was $6.99.
Where do we draw the line?
Trust me, I'm not prejudiced against rats. Alright, I'm a little prejudiced. But fancy doesn't strike me as the proper adjective. I don't care what adjective you put in front of a rat. You can call it a Cute Rat, Smart Rat, Adorable Rat, Good With Children Rat. It's still a rat.
Come on. How guillible do you think we are?
But sure enough, I started rat bashing and Parker became a rat defender. "But dad, they are fancy rats. You can train them." He sounded like a defense attorney for the worldwide federation of rats.
Anywho.
I don't care how fancy a rat is. It's not living in my house. That's final.
I have to admit however, $6.99 and you've got the potential for a pretty cool prank :)

One time in high school my friend and I went over to the girl's party/sleep over to watch a movie. On our way out after the movie I released two mice (purchased at the local pet store) in a nearby closet. I never heard what happened but I bet if I had fancy mice to train what to do things would have turned out better (for me). :)
You're a really closed-minded individual. If you'd bother to do some 5 minute research, you'd learn that rats make much better pets than any other small rodent. They are more intelligent, and have a greater ability to bond with their human companions than others. Also, they don't bite the way other rodents do. If a rat bites you, it's probably because it's your own damn fault. I'm just glad no rats had to put up with your idiocy.
