Let's say it's 4:30 a.m....just for fun, and you have a one very small child...still in recovery from the flu, teething and an ear infection. The good news is that the flu and ear infection are better now...but those dang teeth- i mean, you gotta have 'em.
Listen- this is why it's easier to just get a dog. you can put them in the back yard...and go back to bed....better yet, a gold fish.
The problem with goldfish, though, is that they don't like oatmeal...which is an "essential" when you are up at 3:15 a.m. and need a little comfort and help to get through the night.
The other thing about goldfish is that they don't laugh. Even at 4:22 a.m. it's difficult to be angry with a 1 1/2 year old who says, "Mama" and laughs at the same time. And you know, at least I get to drink "my first cup of coffee" with out 40 fingers "jostling" my cup to "have a sip".
Raise your hand if it's doesn't appeal to you in some small way to hear a mumbling little 18 month old try to sing, "D-D-D-Dora!" at 5:02 a.m..
A fish would never understand me.
Now, a dog.....that's a different story....

Your hypothesis sounds too painful for me, except the part with her laughing, that makes it not so bad.
For now, though, I think I'll stick with the dogs!
Ooooh. 4:30a sounds painful. Damascus has decided his new time to wakeup is 6:30a. I'm having a hard enough time w/that!
*raises hand timidly*
I notice you didn't mention cats....LOL
Man oh man, have I ever forgotten those days. I guess I better get prepared since it's too late to get a goldfish and I already have a dog.
