Pet of a lifetime?

James took each of the kids out on individual dates today and for Asia that meant going to get a hot chocolate and a visit to the pet store. On their return James recounted a little conversation they had had on the way there which went something like this:

ASIA: I wish I could have another pet one day.
JAMES: Another pet? Did you used to have a pet?
ASIA: Yes.
JAMES: What pet did you used to have? (This was news to us both)
ASIA: A roly poly. But it got lost.

Our poor deprived kids. Hopefully, one day soon, we will actually get a real live pet.
