Cat or No Cat?

 

Will Carly get the kitten she wants?

“Carly, would you and Mitch come here, please? We want to talk to you about something,” Dad called from the kitchen.

“Coming, Dad,” said Carly. To her little brother, she said, “Come on, Mitch. Maybe this is about a kitten!”

Mom and Dad were sitting at the kitchen table. They looked thoughtful. Carly and Mitch sat down. Dad spoke first. Carly’s heart sank. Dad always gave out the bad news. “Your mother and I have been talking about a cat.” Carly held on to a tiny bit of hope.

Then, Mom began to speak. Carly perked up a little. “We don’t think a kitten is a good idea.” Boom! Carly’s spirits sank again.

Mom went on, “We think it would be better if we got a grown up cat.”
