Why rats are better than babies

Post by drcorey » Tue Apr 19, 2011 10:30 pm

1. You don't have to change poopy nappies on rats and they can be toilet trained from as early as 5 weeks.
2. Rats may not sleep through the night, but they have the sense to not scream their lungs out and wake you (and all the neighbourhood) up too.
3. If you need a break from your rats, you can put them in their cage for a time out.
4. Rats don't need your body for feeding times.
5. Rat cages may be expensive, but they're much cheaper than prams/strollers, cots, basinettes, change tables, high chairs, slings, car capsules, etc.
6. Rats rarely projectile vomit on you.
7. Rats are cute all the time, not just when they're asleep.
8. Rats don't require expensive trendy outfits which will be outgrown within days.
9. You can acquire rat toys for free from recycle bins and kitchen waste.
10. Rats don't grow up to be bratty teenagers.
11. Rats don't need bibs and they clean their faces themselves.

Sorry, I have to add the obvious following...

I did say sometimes.

Speaking of rodents, I'd like to see a cartoon showing two cats walking by Disneyland (Or some other obvious Disney property), and one cat saying to the other "I swear! They have mice about 5 feet tall in there!"
