I had always wanted to have a koala as a pet. At around age 6-7 I thought I was ready to have one. My parents told me that they only ate eucalyptus leaves and it was not possible to have on as a pet. Well, my bedroom was over the dining room which was over the basement. I thought that we could grow a tree starting in the basement, up through the dining room and into my room. That way, the koala would be able to live in the tree and eat his or her special leaves! Needless to say, my Mom was less than thrilled with the idea of having a tree growing through her dining room! I also thought that I could have a dolphin living in my bathtub! My parents were not so happy with my pet choices as we already had 2 cats and a dog!
