You think now that you want to bring home a penguin. It all sounds like fun and games. Maybe you don't realize how much work is involved in caring for your penguin.
You'll need to get all the right gear and bring it with you everywhere you go.
You'll want to get your superhero cape on when it's meal time.
They have their own TV viewing preferences.
They expect bedtime stories every night.
And they will want to spend lots of time outside playing in the snow.
Annalise, I know you want to bring home a penguin, but these pictures are from 5 years ago. Do you know where our penguin is today? It's sleeping on our middle schooler's bed, and it's the only stuffy that does. This illustrates that the decision to get a penguin is one with long term impacts and should only be considered when you have demonstrated that you are responsible enough to care for others.
