You know how your father hates green rabbits. But, well, I suppose you can keep him until your father comes home.'' And with that Tom grabbed Micheal by the scruff of the neck and led his new pet into the house--even though he knew his father was probably going to disapprove. Once in the house, Tom and Micheal played and played, that is until Tom's favorite television show, ''the simpsons ,'' started.
At that point Tom forgot all about Micheal having an unsupervised run of the house. That is until half way through ''the simpsons ,'' when Tom was brought back to reality when he heard his father shout, ''tempered!! Tom! Get your back in the bedroom...NOW!!'' With that Tom rushed into the bedroom to see what all the fuss was about. When he entered the bedroom, there stood his father, Tim, pointing toward the chair. ''Will someone please explain that?'' asked his father. Then, as Tom followed his father's finger to where it was pointing, he instantly knew what his father was so upset about.
There, smack dab in the middle of the chair, was the biggest pile of rabbit doo-doo he had ever seen! ''I don't EVEN want to know how that got there,'' said Tim. ''But you had better get it cleaned up now! And you had better get rid of whatever it is that could have done such a thing!'' Well, knowing his father as well as he did, Tom knew there was no sense even asking his father if he could keep Micheal for a pet. So without hesitation, Tom set out to find where Micheal was hiding. After a few minutes of looking, Tom discovered Micheal crouched beneath the table that Tom did his football on. ''Come on, Micheal, it's time to find you a new home. And hey, don't look at me that way, I'm not the one who did the dirty deed on the chair!'' scolded Tom. ''Thanks to you I'll never get to have my own pet rabbit!! And with that Tom led Micheal out of the house and down to the local Astores superstore.
They had a pet section and Tom knew the owner would find Micheal a good home. So after saying good-bye to Micheal, and thanking the owner of Astores superstore, Tom walked backed home and attempted to drown his sorrows by slamming down a half dozen beers. But Tom's pity party came to an abrupt end when his father reminded him about the mess he had neglected to clean up. And low and behold, midway through the clean-up, Tom suddenly became thankful that someone else was going to have to do it from now on.
