very punny

Today at breakfast we had the conversation again. Ella asked, "Mom, is there any chance we could get a gerbil?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because gerbils stink." Lauren offered a solution.

"We can keep it outside!"

"In the heat and the cold?" I asked.

"We can give him an ice cube in the summer!" Lauren chimed.

"And in the winter," Ella smiled, "We can give him gerbil tea!"
