Mean Mom

Yes, my kids say that I'm mean. Because I won't let them have a pet. Not for now, at least. We tried the dog thing and it was a disaster. I have sworn off pets until I am done shedding my own hair, changing diapers, being barfed on and stepping on cheerios. After that, we'll talk. Until then, I tell my kids the only living thing allowed in our house besides their cute little bums are plants. I would be happy to get them their own plant. Yee-haw, you say. Oh, but wait...check out the Tickle Me Plant. A highly attractive plant that when touched it immediately curls up! So, it might not satisfy the pet dreams of my children, but it will give them something to take care of and watch grow until we're ready to take the plunge. Watch the video and order the seeds on their site.

Mariel,
TickleMe Plants are a great first pet to teach your children how to be responsibile for a living thing. I grow TickleMe Plants with my school children. Each goes home with their own TickleMe Plant. Its one experience and Pet, that every child deserves to have...and it is so easy to grow!
