Our neighbor's cat gave birth to kittens. Of course, as soon as my son saw the "Kittens For Sale" sign in our neighbor's yard, he wanted to go take a look at them. My husband and I knew that if our son saw the kittens, he was bound to want one for a pet. So we tried to avoid seeing them. Day in and day out, our son kept asking when we could go see the kittens. I kept telling my son he couldn't have a cat, but it didn't make a difference. He wanted to see them anyway. Finally, we gave in and we all went to see them.

There were several other people at my neighbor's house looking at the kittens. Our neighbor was standing next to the box handing out kittens left and right for people to look at. There were plenty of kittens to go around. My husband and son went to see the kittens, but I wanted nothing to do with them. I stayed near the door and tried not to be in anyone's way.

After looking at the kittens, my son ran over to me. "Come and see, Mom!" he said. "There are three boy kittens and two girl kittens."
