So Singaporeans still arent having enough kids. Yet pet stores
seem to be mushrooming all over the island! Not say we say what,
but there is clearly a correlation. How come we Singaporeans prefer
pets to chewren, ha? We need to understand this if were going to
correct the situation. So here are some TOP REASONS WHY
SINGAPOREANS PREFER HAVING PETS TO HAVING CHILDREN:
1. If pets keep wetting the bed, you can give them away or have
them put down.
2. Pets dont watch those creepy Wiggles shows.
3. Nobody calls the police if you lock your pets up in a cage when
you go out.
4. Pets dont borrow money from you.
5. The older your pet gets, the more they like you.
6. Pets dont roll their eyes whenever you tell them how much
easier their lives are compared to when you were growing up.
7. You dont feel any pressure to send your pet to Montessori,
Speech and Drama class, piano class, independent school, overseas
university, etc.
8. Its not likely that youll ever be called to the Principals
office because of your pets behaviour.
9. You dont have to worry about cheekopeks trying to seduce your
pets on the Internet.
10. Pets wont bug you to buy them the latest
Xbox/iPod/iPhone/Wii/Whatever.
11. When pets enter their adolescent years, you can neuter/spay
them.
12. And if that doesnt work, you can sell their offspring.
