Pets with teeth

My wife relayed a funny conversation she had with our kids this morning. This weekend we plan to go to San Antonio to meet Natasha's good friend Petra (she's named after the cool-looking lost city in Jordan, see photo below) for lunch, and then I plan to go window shopping for watches at a watch shop called Tourneau, which I think has much better watch selection than any store in Austin.

Petra, Jordan

On hearing the name "Petra", Daniel (age 5) said, "I want a pet! I think I want a dog." Natasha asked, "what about a cat?" Daniel replied, "No, a cat has sharp teeth!"

Natasha: "Well, dogs have teeth, too."
Daniel (pausing to think for a minute): "Ummm, how about a fish? I want a Nemo."
Lauren (age 4): "I want a GIRL fish!"
